Community Engagement (CE) studios involving community experts with chronic health conditions were used to inform a qualitative study on access to and use of cannabis products among patients with cancer.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S205986612500010X_as2\">\n\t    <jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>We conducted two 2-hour CE studios with residents from Western NY (WNY) (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 18). Our sample primarily included White and Black residents (56% vs. 39%). After a researcher-led 10-minute presentation, a community facilitator led the discussion, which focused on questions about challenges to cannabis use, recommendations for providers when discussing cannabis with patients, and community factors influencing use.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S205986612500010X_as3\">\n\t    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Community experts reported that state legalization of cannabis made it easier to access cannabis, but the costs of cannabis and distance to dispensaries hindered their ability to obtain it. Discrimination was also a key barrier to medical cannabis receipt. There were differences in the perceived safety of where to obtain cannabis (dispensaries vs. friends). Community experts wanted providers to be more informed and less biased about recommending cannabis. Community experts recommended conducting focus groups for the subsequent study to ask questions about cannabis use.<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S205986612500010X_as4\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>The CE studios encouraged us to switch formats from qualitative interviews to focus groups and provided guidance on question topics for the subsequent study.
