Helping Black Women Stick to Breast Cancer Treatment

Black women facing money troubles often struggle to keep up with breast cancer meds. A recent study tried to find better ways to help them. The goal was to make sure these women take their pills as prescribed. The study focused on Black women with lower incomes. These women often have a hard time sticking to their treatment plans. The researchers wanted to understand why and find solutions. They looked at different ways to support these women. The idea was to make sure they take their medicine regularly. This is important because skipping doses can make treatment less effective. The study found that simple changes can make a big difference. Things like reminders and support groups helped women stay on track. The researchers also found that making the meds easier to get was key. But there are still challenges. Many women face bigger problems like money and transportation. The study showed that addressing these issues is crucial. It's not just about the meds. It's about making life easier for these women. The study is a step in the right direction. It shows that with the right support, Black women can stick to their treatment. But more work is needed to tackle the bigger problems they face.
