The overall aim of this proposal is to conduct qualitative and quantitative cultural analyses of the Cancer Behavior Inventory (CBI) to assure that it is appropriate for African American patients and to establish a methodology for testing cultural bias in other measures. Self-efficacy theory was used to guide the development of the CBI, which assesses patients' expectations about their ability to perform coping behaviors in seven domains: 1) Maintaining Activity and Independence, 2) Seeking and Understanding Medical Information, 3) Stress Management for Medical Appointments, 4) Coping With Treatment-Related Side Effects, 5) Accepting Cancer/ Maintaining Positive Attitude, 6) Affective Regulation, and 7) Seeking Social Support. Data will be collected in order to accrue 200 African American patients and 200 Caucasian patients with cancer. The accrual is designed to assure the development of a comprehensive database that includes adequate numbers of African Americans. All participants will complete the CBI and other measures of coping, adjustment, and quality of life. In addition, African American participants will complete measures of racial identity development, perceived maltreatment, and acculturation. Information on medical treatment and other medically relevant data (e.g., stage at diagnosis) will be obtained from the participant's chart and physician, Data analyses will include both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative approaches will include narrative analyses to assess perceived bias in items. Quantitative analyses will include: 1) item bias analysis and tests of the structural invariance as a function of race, racial identity, perceived maltreatment, gender, type of cancer and age; and 2) traditional psychometrics. Based on this cultural analysis, the CBI may be modified to be more useful in clinical trials research as a) a screening devise to select people for psychosocial interventions, b) a process measure, which when given repeatedly during the course of treatment would detect changes in efficacy, and c) as an outcome measure. Also, the cultural analysis will make the CBI useful for assessing coping with African American patients. Finally, the methodology for the cultural analysis may be used with other measures and ethnic groups. Further refinement of the CBI can include the standardization of the scales of the CBI and the development of norms based on relevant individual difference variables.

该提案的总体目的是进行定性和定量的文化分析 癌症行为清单（CBI）确保它适合非裔美国人患者，并建立一种测试其他措施中文化偏见的方法。自我效能理论用于指导CBI的发展，该理论评估了患者对在七个领域中执行应对行为的能力的期望：1）维持活动和独立性，2）寻求和理解医疗信息，3）应对医疗预约的压力管理，4）4）应对治疗相关的副作用，5）接受积极的态度，5）接受积极的态度，6）寻求社交和7），并寻求社交范围。 将收集数据，以吸引200名非裔美国人患者和200名高加索癌症患者。该应计旨在确保开发一个综合数据库，其中包括足够数量的非洲裔美国人。所有参与者将完成CBI和其他应对，调整和生活质量的措施。此外，非裔美国人的参与者将完成种族认同发展，虐待和适应性的措施。有关医疗和其他医学相关数据的信息（例如，诊断阶段）将从参与者的图表和医生中获得 数据分析将包括定性和定量方法。定性方法将包括叙事分析，以评估项目中感知的偏见。定量分析将包括：1）项目偏差分析和结构不变性的测试，这是种族，种族认同，感知的虐待，性别，癌症类型和年龄的函数； 2）传统的心理计量学。基于这种文化分析，可以对CBI进行修改，以在临床试验研究中更有用，a）筛查设计以选择人们进行心理社会干预措施，b）一种过程度量，当治疗过程中反复给出时，该方法将检测到功效的变化，以及c）作为结果度量。此外，文化分析将使CBI有助于评估与非裔美国人患者的应对。最后，文化分析的方法可以与其他措施和种族一起使用。更远 CBI的完善可以包括CBI量表的标准化以及基于相关的个体差异变量的规范制定。
