Community Factors and County-Level Cancer Screening, Prevalence, and Mortality
In this cross-sectional study of the relative explanatory importance of community measures on cancer screening, prevalence, and mortality rate we found that the ranking of factors varied for each specific cancer and outcome, which can inform targeted population health efforts. Factors that ranked high across cancer types for a given outcome, such as uninsured rates for cancer prevalence, represent opportune targets for future study and broader policy change.
