Improving quality and safety of cancer care for people from ethnic minority backgrounds: what do consumers want?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

People from ethnic minority backgrounds have increased likelihood of poor care quality and outcomes than the general population when accessing cancer care. Consumer-centric solutions are required to address these inequities. We explored the views of people from ethnic minority backgrounds on key issues impacting their cancer care and outcomes, including strategies to enhance care.

Design

Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect experiential data from people from diverse backgrounds who had accessed cancer care. All recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim, and one was included with notes only. Thematic analysis was conducted, with initial coding by two researchers and themes further developed by all authors.
