Challenges and Needs of Chinese and Korean American Breast Cancer Survivors: In-Depth Interviews.

Breast cancer incidence and the number of breast cancer survivors have been rapidly increasing among Chinese and Korean women in the United States. However, few data are available regarding quality of life in Asian American breast cancer survivors. This qualitative study aims to describe Asian American women's perceptions of quality of life and their breast cancer experiences.

Health insurance moderates the association between immigrant length of stay and health status.

Previous studies reported that immigrants’ health worsens with acculturation to US lifestyle; however, role of health insurance has not been investigated. We used crosssectional National Immigrant Survey (n = 6,381) to examine the potential moderating effect of health insurance on the association between time in the US and self reported changes in health (comparing health status before and after immigration)and current health status. Separate logistic regression models were fit to assess these associations among insured and uninsured immigrants, adjusting for covariates.
