Understanding Latinas' causal attributions of breast and colon cancer may provide insight into some of the individual level determinants of cancer disparities in this population. Cultural consensus analysis (CCA) is one way to study causal beliefs. The objective of this study was to describe Latina immigrants' causal attributions of breast and colon cancer. We conducted Spanish-language interviews with 22 Latina immigrants using a qualitative exploratory design comprised of freelisting, ranking, and open-ended questions. Participants freelisted causes and risk factors for breast and colon cancer then ranked risk factors according to their perceived role in the development of each cancer. CCA was conducted on rank orders to identify whether a cultural consensus model was present. Participants answered semi-structured, open-ended questions regarding the risk factors and rankings. Interviews were transcribed and subjected to thematic analysis. CCA showed no consensus around rank of causes for either cancer, and residual agreement analysis suggested the presence of two subcultural groups. \"Genetics\" and \"hereditary factors\" ranked first and second on average across participants for both cancers. Based on interview data, participants were less aware of colon cancer than breast cancer. Participants' endorsement of heredity as a cause of breast and colon cancer was similar to beliefs reported in studies of primarily non-Latina populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":46965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10857993/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138463539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We interviewed 28 parents who received de novo genetic diagnoses for their child's autism and intellectual disability (ID). These genetic variants proved to have reproductive implications for not only the child's parents, but the child and his/her neurotypical siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Parents had often already finished building their families but varied, overall, in whether the results had affected, or might have influenced, their reproductive decisions. Parents' views were shaped by factors related to not only genetics, but also parental age, financial considerations, competing hopes and visions for their family's future, perceived abilities to care for an additional child with similar symptoms, and the extent of the child's symptoms. Members of a couple sometimes disagreed about whether to have more children. Parents pondered, too, the possibility of preimplantation genetic testing, though misunderstandings about it arose. Children with autism vary widely in their abilities to understand the reproductive implications of genetic diagnoses for themselves. Neurotypical offspring were much relieved to understand that their own children would not be affected. While some autism self-advocates have been concerned that genetic testing related to autism could lead to eugenics, the present data, concerning de novo genetic findings, raise other perspectives. These data, the first to explore several key aspects of the reproductive implications of genetic diagnoses for this group, have important implications for future practice, education, and research-e.g., concerning various family members.</p>","PeriodicalId":46965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10857994/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41239716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Factors associated with adaptation include feeling understood and supported by healthcare providers; researching the condition; receiving hormone replacement therapy; and receiving support from a community of peers. As access to prenatal and pediatric genetic testing continues to expand, non-genetic pediatric providers are increasingly likely to interact with individuals with SCAs as part of their initial diagnostic odyssey or ongoing medical management.
