• Description:
  Background:
  
  This study examines how neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and ethnic composition are associated with breast cancer risk for Asian American women.
  
  Methods:
  
  We linked individual level data from a population-based case-control study of breast cancer among Asian American women with neighborhood level data in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area (cases: n=118, controls: n=390). Multivariable logistic regression models examined the association between nSES, ethnic composition, and odds of having breast cancer.
  
  Results:
  
  Asian American women living in neighborhoods with high nSES and high ethnic composition had the highest odds of breast cancer, compared to those living in neighborhoods with high nSES and low ethnic composition (OR=0.34, 95% CI: [0.16–0.75]) or in neighborhoods with low nSES and high ethnic composition (OR=0.37, 95% CI: [0.17–0.83]).
  
  Discussion:
  
  Neighborhood socioeconomic and ethnic contexts are associated with breast cancer for Asian American women. We discuss explanations and avenues for future research.
