The purpose of this study is to examine breast cancer websites to determine the extent to which sociocultural cues, relevant to African Americans, are used to convey information in websites. Based on the literature, sociocultural factors include collectivism, spirituality/religiosity and racial pride. Additionally, this study uses a unique search option to determine the extent to which breast cancer websites target African American women with these sociocultural cues. The rationale for this study is that African American women are a high-risk segment for breast cancer; therefore, it is important to examine the extent to which message cues that resonate with this segment are used in breast cancer websites that this segment searches for health information about breast cancer. The study adds to existing literature by comparing the presence of sociocultural factors in government, nonprofit and commercial websites that provide information about breast cancer. The goal is to determine whether or not differences exist in both the frequency and type of sociocultural factors on these sites. The method was a content analysis of 50 breast cancer websites. Ethnic targeting of African Americans was present in some of the websites coded, though the use of targeting varied from zero to as many as 2,672. There was limited use of sociocultural cues; collectivism was the most dominant cue used, followed by spirituality and racial pride. There were no instances of religiosity. Government websites (versus non-profit or commercial) were most likely to provide information that targeted African Americans. In short, while there is a moderate use of targeting, the use of sociocultural cues that would resonate with African Americans are largely absent in breast cancer websites.
