What Are Some Successful Interventions to Reduce Socioeconomic Inequities in Cancer Care?
Several interventions have been successful in reducing socioeconomic inequities in cancer care. For instance, mobile health units offering free or low-cost screenings in underserved areas have improved access to early detection services. Community health worker programs that provide culturally competent education and navigation support have increased cancer screening rates and treatment adherence. Health policy reforms, such as expanding insurance coverage, have also improved access to cancer care for low-income individuals.
