Socioeconomic inequalities in social support: Examining differences in social support network satisfaction and composition among pediatric cancer caregivers
Our results show differences in social support satisfaction and social network composition by income and education among pediatric cancer caregivers. These results have implications for improving intervention. Creating interventions to foster social network ties and activate social support may be a promising direction for promoting health equity.
