Policy Research Report
Breastfeeding can reduce breast cancer risk, both in the practice of breastfeeding and the duration of time a person breastfeeds, with longer durations associated with increased benefits. However, several racial/ethnic communities with higher rates of breast cancer are also those with lower rates of breastfeeding.

Journal Article
Foreign-born Asians were less likely to utilize preventive care due to medicine beliefs, language barriers, insurance coverage, and more. Their perceptions of breast cancer risks and screening benefits for asymptomatic conditions may differ from individuals born in the United States. It is urgent for preventive health professionals to understand screening disparities in Asian Americans.  Findings: Of Non-Hispanic-White (NH-White) and Asian American women aged 40 and above, 78.

Journal Article
Metastatic breast cancer survival rates are low and are in part impacted by time-sensitive access to care factors that may be improved through policy changes. Online communities have formed to provide support for patients and foster collaboration among patients, clinicians, advocates, and researchers.

Policy Research Report
Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) occurs across the United States, but differences in health care systems, health insurance products, and population characteristics create state-level differences in the experiences of patients. While there are national standards and laws governing different aspects of care that MBC patients receive, there is still significant impact from state-level policies.
