Determinants of Prostate Cancer Stage in Northern New England : USA Franco-American Contextual Effects
Creator
Parsons, Margaret A.;Askland, Kathleen D.
Description
From Parsons and Askland: "Despite screening for prostate cancer, mortality in the United States remains substantial. In northern New England, we know little about either determinants of stage at diagnosis--an important predictor of survival--or health outcomes for Franco-Americans, the region's largest ethnic minority. The objective of this investigation was to identify predictors of late prostate cancer stage in a rural, predominantly white state with a large Franco-American population. "
