Cancer Health Disparities

Abstract

Stress is an important factor in disease risk and health outcomes; stress responses are now included in conceptual models of minority health and health disparities. This chapter reviews models of stress and adversity, identifies chronic stressors and stress responses in diverse communities, and examines the impact of chronic stressors in these groups. The effects of psychological interventions on stress responses, biobehavioral mechanisms, and cancer outcomes are also reviewed to identify priorities for future basic behavioral science research and intervention studies to enhance stress responses and cancer outcomes among disparity populations.
