Address social determinants of health to support cancer patients.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are situational factors impacting a person's ability to access quality health care and live a healthy life. These factors are tied to where people live, work and socialize and include:
- Access to food, nutrition and housing
- Education status
- Employment and income status
- Community/social support networks
- Access to transportation
