- Research Interests:
As principal investigator for several funded studies, Dr. Price’s research has included socio-cultural factors in screening for cervical cancer among African American mothers and daughters; breast cancer screening among African American and American Indian women; and prostate cancer screening, detection, and prevention among African American and Caucasian men. Her current research interest focuses exclusively on prostate cancer screening.
Dr. Price’s early research was funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Control Education Research Program (CCEP), through the University of North Carolina, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, Chapel Hill. This study investigated intergenerational influences on cervical cancer screening among older and younger African American women in four rural North Carolina counties where cervical cancer rates for African American women were among the highest in the state. Later, with corporate funding from AVON, Inc, she investigated rural African American and Indian women’s attitudes toward breast health and breast cancer detection.
Following her early studies on cancer detection, Dr. Price’s research focus progressed to designing and tailoring a program of community-based research which seeks a deeper understanding of early detection and prevention for prostate cancer. Her prostate cancer screening program of clinical research and mentoring has been funded exclusively by the United States Department of Defense. These include a “Tracking System to Improve Prostate Cancer Follow-up in a Small Urban Community”; and “Increasing Sustained Participation in Free Mass Prostate Cancer Screening Clinics”. Her research related to risk for prostate cancer was the first to correlate obesity in men with deceptively lower prostate antigen findings. These findings received special attention among media outlets nationally and internationally, and were presented at two national nurse practitioner conferences.
