Shared Sociodemographic Risk Factors for Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Children With Cancer and Blood Disorders
Lower family income emerged as an important element of SES associated with poorer neurocognitive functioning in children treated for cancer and blood disorders. Further research is needed to determine how family income alters neurocognitive functioning, whether by altering the timing of emergence or the magnitude of deficits. Future studies should investigate mechanisms linking low income to neurocognitive performance to inform interventions to bolster neurocognitive development.
