We are conducting a study to understand how diverse pregnant people make decisions about prenatal diagnosis when fetal anomalies are present. We will be conducting semi-structured interviews of individuals that have been in the above clinical situation to better understand how personal, community, and systems-level factors impact their decision making. We will also be studying the longitudinal impact of receiving genetic information during pregnancy, particularly among those that have undergone exome or genome sequencing for prenatal diagnosis.

Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more often than white men, and more commonly die from this disease. Care for advanced prostate cancer has improved a great deal over the past ten years, but these differences have continued. In order to improve equity in cancer care, we want to determine who is not getting the highest quality of care and whether race is associated with differences in care. Our study will ask Black and White men about their experiences with cancer care - if they trusted their doctors, how well their doctors communicated with them, and if they were satisfied with the care they received. We will ask about the challenges they experienced in receiving care, and what might have helped them get better care. We will use these results to design a better way to deliver care.
