Discrimination against Gay and Bisexual Patients in Prostate Cancer Treatment: Results from the <i>Restore-2</i> Study.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of discrimination during prostate cancer treatment and assess the association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a cohort of gay and bisexual men (GBM) prostate cancer survivors. This is a cross-sectional analysis of the 24-month follow-up survey from the Restore-2 clinical trial that tested the effectiveness of an online rehabilitation program tailored for GBM prostate cancer survivors in the U.S. This analysis uses data from the 347 participants who completed all items of the Everyday Discrimination Scale (EDS) at the 24-month follow-up. A log-binomial regression model estimated the risk of experiencing discrimination across treatment received and demographic characteristics. Multivariable linear regression model
