Recommendations to Reduce Adverse Outcomes from Social Determinants of Health in Lung Cancer
Social determinants of health (SDOH) significantly impact lung cancer outcomes. Here are some recommendations to address these challenges and improve patient well-being:
Early Detection and Screening:
Treatment Access and Affordability:
Support Services and Navigation:
Community-Level Interventions:
Public Policy and Advocacy:
By implementing these recommendations and addressing the social determinants of health, we can create a healthcare system that offers equitable access to lung cancer screening, treatment, and support services for all populations. This will ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes and reduce the overall burden of lung cancer.
