Associations between race/ethnicity and SEER-CAHPS patient care experiences among female Medicare beneficiaries with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We aimed to determine if racial/ethnic disparities exist in survivorship care patient experiences among older breast cancer survivors.

Materials and methods

Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate adjusted beta (β) coefficients and standard error (SE) estimates for associations between race/ethnicity and survivorship care patient experiences.

Results

Most women were non-Hispanic (NH)-White (78.1%; NH-Black [8.1
