How Do Social Determinants of Health Interact with Cultural Practices in Cancer Care?
Social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, education, and access to healthcare, interact with cultural practices to influence cancer care. Individuals from marginalized communities may face barriers such as lack of access to screening and treatment facilities, financial constraints, and limited health literacy. Cultural practices may compound these challenges, making it crucial to address social determinants alongside cultural considerations in cancer care strategies.
