Proposed Project
Case Studies to Explore Interventions to Support, Build, and
Provide Legacy Awareness for Young Breast Cancer Survivors--New--
National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Young breast cancer survivors (YBCS, defined as women diagnosed
with breast cancer under 45 years old) may have a more difficult time
coping with breast cancer treatment and aftercare when compared to
older breast cancer survivors. For example, breast cancer can be more
serious, treatment is often multimodal and more toxic, and side effects
can be more severe for YBCS than for older women. As part of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590, 2010), Congress
passed the Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Act,
Sec. 10413. The EARLY Act directed CDC to
[[Page 42077]]
develop and implement national campaigns to educate young women
(particularly those at increased risk) and health care providers about
breast cancer risk and early diagnosis. As a result of the EARLY Act,
CDC established the Funding Opportunity Announcement, DP11-1111,
Developing Support and Educational Awareness for Young (< 45 years of
age) Breast Cancer Survivors in the United States. Subsequently, CDC
awarded a three-year cooperative agreement to seven organizations that
demonstrated a capacity to (1) reach YBCS, health care providers, and
caregivers/families, (2) implement interventions that seek to provide
support services, and (3) develop educational communication and
awareness resources to support YBCS.
Other establishments within the U.S., such as local and national
not-for-profit organizations and academic institutions, implement
similar YBCS-focused interventions without funding from CDC's DP11-1111
cooperative agreement. Although these entities are not funded through
CDC, they plan, develop, and employ similar tools, strategies, and
interventions to reach or benefit these targeted young cancer-survivor
populations.
CDC proposes to conduct exploratory case studies of organizations
that provide support services and/or educational resources to YBCS,
health care providers, and/or caregivers/families. Each selected
organization will serve as a unique case and the unit of analysis.
Information will be collected from up to 12 organizations: Seven case
studies will be conducted with organizations that receive funding
through CDC's DP11-1111 cooperative agreement, and up to five case
studies will be conducted with other organizations that are
implementing similar YBCS-focused activities and interventions but do
not receive funding under DP11-1111. Information will be collected
during a single site visit to each selected organization to conduct in-
person interviews with key programmatic staff and to record on-site
observations of program planning and implementation activities.
Case studies are intended to serve as an exploration of
implementation activities, as well as to provide the context for
implementation. Specifically, case study findings will help CDC to
identify areas in which CDC can build upon existing and emerging
efforts to provide support services and educational resources to YBCS,
highlight barriers and facilitating factors to implementing
interventions targeting YBCS, determine the added value of providing
the DP11-1111 cooperative agreement (e.g., funding, technical
assistance) to various entities, identify lessons learned that can be
applied to future implementation of YBCS interventions, and better
understand the sustainability of YBCS interventions following/in the
absence of CDC funding.
CDC will be able to gain a deeper understanding of (1)
implementation of the DP11-1111 cooperative agreement, (2)
implementation of YBCS interventions, including barriers and
facilitators to implementation, and (3) similarities and differences
among organizations serving YBCS. Case study findings will be compiled
and summarized in site-specific and cross-site reports to CDC.
Information collected will help to enhance existing efforts to provide
educational resources and support services to YBCS and inform
replication of promising YBCS interventions in other settings.
Case study selection is based on a purposeful selection of CDC-
funded and non-CDC funded organizations that support YBCS populations
through educational or service programs. Potential organizations for
this project include local or national not-for-profit organizations and
academic institutions. Information will be collected using on-site
observations and in-depth interviews (IDI) with each organization's key
informants, such as Principal Investigators, Program Managers, Program
Staff, and Program Partners. IDIs will last 1-2 hours each. Case study
findings will be compiled and summarized in site-specific and cross-
site reports to CDC. Information will be collected approximately two
years after initiation of CDC's cooperative agreement, DP11-1111. OMB
approval is requested for 12 months.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
