β¦ Synopsis
T he information presented by the speakers at this workshop pro- vided the foundation for discussions by participants at eight breakout sessions. These sessions offered an opportunity to address a variety of issues raised during the workshop and to formulate recommendations for future research and other actions. Individual sessions focused on genetic risk factors, hormonal and reproductive risk factors, and environmental risk factors, as well as issues specific to African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans, and American Indians and Alaska Natives. The following recommendations were developed during the breakout sessions and arranged by topic. Some recommendations formulated in sessions that focused on a racial/ethnic group are specific to that group; however, many others cut across racial and ethnic boundaries.
