Social determinant of health patterns and mortality outcomes in US adults.

Background: Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) influences healthcare access, especially in patients with chronic diseases. However, SDOHs were often investigated as single variables. Combination patterns and joint effects of multiple SDOHs are much understudied.

Access to cancer care for undocumented immigrants in the USA.

Undocumented immigrants face substantial barriers to affordable health-care coverage in the USA. For people with cancer, federal restrictions on publicly funded health insurance pose serious downstream consequences, including delayed diagnosis, scarce treatment options, and worse health outcomes. In this Policy Review, we examine mechanisms through which undocumented immigrants access cancer care in the USA, focusing on Emergency Medicaid, Medicaid-equivalent plans, and Marketplace-based strategies.
