Person-Centered Social Determinants and Neighborhood-Level Deprivation Associated With Disability in Hispanic People With Multiple Sclerosis
Our findings suggest that census-based indicators may underestimate the effect of SDOH on MS outcomes and the person-centered level measures are better markers of disease severity in Hispanic people with MS. Future research and policy change can focus on the amelioration of assimilation barriers and socioeconomic disadvantage because these were strongly associated with MS-related ambulatory and cognitive disability.
