Tracy Brewington

Yale-Howard Scholar '03

Tracy Brewington worked with Dr. Ruth McCorkle to investigate factors related to causal attribution in cervical cancer. Tracy's work was a sub-study of Dr. McCorkle's parent study, entitled "Quality of Life Outcomes in Long Term Survivors of Cervical Cancer," that was designed to gain an understanding of quality of life among women with cervical cancer who were initially diagnosed between 1975 and 1995. Out of this study, Tracy's research project was designed to determine the relationship of causal attribution to selected factors including age, race, education, income, and religion. She analyzed the responses of 210 women as part of that project. Tracy had been exposed to nursing research prior to coming to Yale. In 2002, she was awarded an NIH Traineeship "That summer experience prepared me well for Yale, and provided a good foundation for me to continue my work at Howard," Tracy said. She was selected to present her research at the 2003 Black Nurses Association Annual Meeting in July, 2003
