One of her research interests is early detection of breast cancer, according to Capstone College of Nursing’s website, and she was recently published in the Southern Online Journal of Nursing Research with an article entitled “Recruitment of African American Women for Research on Breast Cancer Early Detection: Using Culturally Appropriate Interventions.”
Kelley’s upcoming lecture on breast cancer research will look to raise awareness since breast cancer has far-reaching impacts.
According to breastcancer.org, there were more than 2.8 million women in the U.S. in 2016 that had a history of breast cancer. That number includes both women who have finished and are in treatment.
