Scientific Questions Being Studied
The specific scientific questions I intend to study revolve around the impact of exercise on the health outcomes of Black and Brown male prostate cancer survivors. This includes evaluating exercise behavior and mental health status using the All of Us dataset. The importance of these questions lies in addressing the significant disparities in prostate cancer outcomes among racial/ethnic minority populations. By exploring the data, I aim to investigate whether exercise post-treatment correlates with better mental health and overall well-being among Black and Brown prostate cancer survivors. This research is crucial for informing targeted interventions that can potentially improve the quality of life and survivorship outcomes within these communities, thereby addressing a critical gap in public health disparities related to prostate cancer.

Scientific Approaches
The scientific approaches for my study involve utilizing the All of Us dataset and Fitbit data to assess exercise behavior and mental health among Black and Brown male prostate cancer survivors. I plan to employ quantitative research methods, including data analysis techniques such as descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Additionally, I intend to conduct stratified analyses based on race/ethnicity to examine potential disparities. Statistical software like R or SPSS will be utilized for data analysis. Moreover, I may supplement quantitative findings with qualitative insights through interviews or focus groups to gain a deeper understanding of participants' experiences with exercise post-treatment. This comprehensive approach will enable me to address the scientific questions regarding the impact of exercise on the health outcomes of Black and Brown prostate cancer survivors.
Anticipated Findings
Anticipated findings from the study include identifying a potential association between exercise post-treatment and improved mental health outcomes among Black and Brown male prostate cancer survivors. Additionally, the research may reveal disparities in exercise behavior and mental health outcomes based on race/ethnicity. These findings would contribute significantly to the body of scientific knowledge by providing evidence on the benefits of exercise interventions for prostate cancer survivors, particularly among underserved minority populations. Furthermore, uncovering disparities in exercise behavior and mental health outcomes could inform targeted interventions aimed at reducing health disparities and improving overall survivorship outcomes in these communities. Overall, the study's findings would advance our understanding of the role of exercise in prostate cancer survivorship and provide insights into addressing health disparities in cancer care.
