Summary
This population-based case-control study combines interview and secondary data, including specific social and built environment factors, to explore potential mediators of socio-economic status disparities in prostate cancer risk. The authors interviewed NHW men in the San Francisco Bay area using a structured questionnaire and the social and built aspects of each participants neighborhood were measured useing ArcGIS. Using statistical analysis, the authors examinded individual-level covariates and specific social and built environment factors to assess the extent to which these factors were associated with odds of localized or advanced prostate cancer. The study found that neighborhood socio-economic status affects prostate cancer risk.

Methods Used:

  • The authors — 1) conducted In-person interviews in English by trained interviewers at the participants’ home using a structured questionnaire that asked about socio-demographic background, medical history, family history of cancer (first degree relative), lifestyle factors, and self reported education level; 2) geocoded residential address to latitude/longitude coordinates and then assigned to a 2000 census block group; 3) measured the social and built aspects of each neighborhood using ArcGIS; and 4) examinded individual-level covariates and specific social and built environment factors using statistical analysis to assess the extent to which these factors were associated with odds of localized or advanced prostate cancer.
