BU SBRP researchers Tom Webster (project 2), Veronica Vieira (project 2), Ann Aschengrau (project 1), and graduate student Kate Hoffman recently collaborated on a publication titled "Community and Individual-Level Socioeconomic Status and Breast Cancer Risk: Multi-level Modeling on Cape Cod, MA" in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. In this paper the researchers constructed models for breast cancer risk for individual level socio-economic status (SES), community level SES, and a multi-level analysis including both. Results showed that women with the highest education were at greater risk for developing breast cancer. Women living in the highest SES communities also had greater risk of developing breast cancer.

Environmental Health Perspectives is an Open Access Publication, and a full text PDF of this publication is available online.
