This project will provide information on continuity of insurance, employment status, out-of-pocket medical costs faced by young breast cancer survivors; and will identify factors impacting their access to comprehensive care. The results from this study will lay a foundation for designing and implementing interventions/organizational policies aimed at reducing the financial constraints faced by young breast cancer survivors and increasing their health and quality of life. The specific objectives of this project are to: 1) provide information on continuity of insurance coverage, employment status, and copayment/deductibles faced by young women (18-39 years) diagnosed with breast cancer; and 2) identify factors impacting the access of young breast cancer survivors to comprehensive high quality medical care.
