3512 Identifying Patient-Level Barriers to Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treatment and Surveillance Adherence in Low-Income Latino Patients: A Mixed-Methods Study

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To evaluate the determinants of non-adherence to guideline treatment and surveillance and unique barriers to care in LIU Latinos with NMIBC that will inform the development of novel patient educational materials and navigation programs that could improve adherence and thus, oncologic outcomes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will recruit 40 Latino patients with new or existing NMIBC diagnoses who present to the Urology clinic at a large, tertiary public hospital in Los Angeles from November 2018 to March 2019. Quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) data will be collected, analyzed and integrated in order to comprehensively determine patient-level barriers to adherence. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We expect to identify a unique set of patient-level barriers to adherence to NMIBC care that is unique to this population that center around 1) structural barriers to care, 2) knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs that pertain to education, acculturation, gender and values, and 3) general and disease-specific health literacy. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The barriers to surveillance and treatment NMIBC care are significant, particularly in LIU and minority patients, which is important as non-adherence to guideline care is linked to poorer cancer outcomes. The data generated herein will inform the development of tools and programs to aid in reducing or eliminating these barriers, but also will inform discussions on the effectiveness of current clinical practices for low-income Latino patients.
