Characterizing Pain Experiences: African American Patients With Multiple Myeloma Taking Around-the-Clock Opioids.

Background: Despite known disparities by race, studies to date have not focused on pain characterization among African American patients with multiple myeloma.

Objectives: This study aimed to characterize the pain experience, beliefs about pain and pain control, and additional symptoms among African American patients with multiple myeloma taking around-the-clock opioids.

Methods: This study employed secondary analysis of baseline data from a completed longitudinal study of opioid adherence.

Pilot Feasibility Study of a Video Intervention to Educate Patients with Breast Cancer About Clinical Trials.

The purpose of this project was to develop and test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a video about cancer clinical trials (CCTs) developed for breast cancer patients. We developed 2 brief 7-min videos that focused on breast cancer patients describing their experiences participating in CCTs, supplemented with doctors and research staff explaining key research concepts. One video was culturally tailored to Black patients and the other to White patients.
