Focus group participants included 41 AAs and 35 non-AAs, the latter consisting largely of EAs (Table I). The mean age (45±11 years AA; 42±9 years non-AA) and age range (28–70 years AA; 26–71 years non-AA) were similar between groups. Twice as many AA men participated than non-AA men. A larger percentage of AA participants identified as Christian (68% AA vs. 26% non-AA) or earned a monthly income <$4,000, while a larger percentage of non-AA participants lived with a partner or were married (74% non-AA vs. 34% AA) and had attained a bachelors degree or higher (60% non-AA vs. 24% AA). A total of 13 focus groups sessions (3–9 participants each) were conducted, of which four included AA only, three included non-AA only, and 6 included both AA and non-AA participants (Supplementary eTable SI – see Supporting Information online).
