- Title
Addressing Social Determinants of Health: Now Is the Time.
- Authors
Bona, Kira; Keating, Nancy L
- Abstract
Social determinants of health (SDOH) - the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play - are associated with profound inequities in cancer incidence, care delivery, and outcomes - including stark disparities in survival ([1]). One drug will not cure all cancers, and most cancers require multi-modal therapy; SDOH are no different. Reducing cancer disparities will require a portfolio of multi-level health equity interventions - alone and in combination - to address modifiable SDOH, such as food, transportation, and housing insecurity. Material hardships are associated with delays in cancer diagnosis and initiation of cancer-directed therapy, greater distress and financial toxicity, and a higher risk of relapse and death ([[1], [3]]).
