Social Risk Prevalence in Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With and Without a History of Cancer
This cross-sectional study found that regardless of cancer history, AYA patients may experience a high burden of social risks. These findings support the need to routinely assess and address social risks in AYA populations to improve equity in health care. Future research should investigate the association of social risks with health care use and long-term outcomes.
