Abstract

Language of interview, an acculturation proxy measure, may differentiate between cancer information preferences of English-as-a-second-language (ESL) immigrant women in Canada. Using directed content analysis, we compared 28 interviews conducted in Spanish or English. Demographic comparisons were completed using paired t tests and McNemar related samples. Themes identified were: (1) using English language information and (2) improving information for ESL speakers. No differences were found in women’s conversations about colon cancer by age, income, education, or employment. However, English interviewees resided in Canada longer and watched less television. Language skill and contextual factors influence women’s confidence using English cancer information.
