PROJECT SUMMARY Ms. McKenzie Reese is an undergraduate researcher at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) seeking additional training, mentorship, and career development in psycho-oncology research. This diversity supplement will support Ms. Reese to contribute to an ongoing pilot RCT of an adapted Mindful Self- Compassion intervention that aims to reduce stigma among adults with lung cancer (R00CA256351). Given the racial disparity in the incidence of lung cancer, it is important to promote full representation of African American patients in cancer research. However, African American cancer patients are less likely to enroll in clinical trials and experience higher attrition in longitudinal psycho-oncology research, as compared to White patients. As such, there is a crucial need to identify strategies that promote the recruitment, engagement, and retention of African American cancer patients in psycho-oncology research. In this project, the candidate will address this need by 1) assessing whether culturally-relevant messages and images within the parent study’s Facebook Targeted Advertisement recruitment strategy will promote research participation among African American lung cancer patients and 2) evaluating motivational factors that underlie patients’ continued participation in the parent study by analyzing qualitative interviews post-intervention. Alongside these research aims, the candidate will pursue mentoring and career development activities to gain fundamental and advanced research skills in psycho-oncology, which will accelerate the candidate’s trajectory toward a career in cancer research. These aims are aligned with NCI’s 2023 annual plan for breaking down barriers to clinical trial participation and the goals of NCI’s Equity and Inclusion Program. Successful completion of this project will provide the candidate with the opportunity to see a research project through from recruitment to dissemination, receive in-depth research training, and participate in career development workshops that will enhance her competitiveness and preparation for graduate programs in psychology, thereby supporting her long-term goal of becoming an independent scientist focused on reducing cancer-related health disparities.

项目概要 McKenzie Reese 女士是洛约拉马利蒙特大学 (LMU) 的本科生研究员，寻求 心理肿瘤学研究的额外培训、指导和职业发展。 补充品将支持 Reese 女士为一项正在进行的随机对照试验（RCT）做出贡献，该试验是一项改编后的正念自我疗法 旨在减少成人肺癌患者耻辱感的同情干预 (R00CA256351)。 鉴于肺癌发病率的种族差异，促进非洲人的充分代表性非常重要 美国患者参与癌症研究。然而，非裔美国癌症患者参加的可能性较小。 与怀特相比，临床试验和纵向心理肿瘤学研究中的人员流失率更高 因此，迫切需要确定促进招募、参与和治疗的策略。 在该项目中，候选人将保留非洲裔美国癌症患者的心理肿瘤学研究。 通过以下方式解决这一需求：1）评估母研究中是否存在文化相关的信息和图像 Facebook有针对性的广告招聘策略将促进非洲人的研究参与 美国肺癌患者和 2) 评估患者持续治疗的动机因素 除了这些研究之外，还通过分析干预后的定性访谈来参与家长研究。 目标，候选人将从事指导和职业发展活动，以获得基本和 心理肿瘤学方面的先进研究技能，这将加速候选人的职业轨迹 这些目标与 NCI 打破临床障碍的 2023 年年度计划一致。 试验参与以及 NCI 公平和包容性计划的目标 成功完成该项目。 将为候选人提供机会来了解一个研究项目从招募到 传播、接受深入的研究培训并参加职业发展研讨会，这些研讨会将 提高她的竞争力并为心理学研究生课程做好准备，从而支持她 成为一名专注于减少与癌症相关的健康差异的独立科学家的长期目标。
