Social Determinants of Health and Pediatric Brain Tumor Neuropsychological Morbidities
Findings suggest community-level social determinants of health are associated with neurocognitive and psychological outcomes in PBT survivors. The COI may be useful to inform individual-level interventions and community-level policy to mitigate neuropsychological problems following PBT treatment in children from lower-opportunity communities. Exploration of specific educational, health, or social/economic indicators may highlight targets for a problem-prevention approach to reducing PBT survivors' risk for morbidities.
