This federal Project Grant award of $649,293 from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) aims to study healthcare utilization and outcomes across the cancer care continuum, with a focus on understanding the impact of social risk factors and screening among Latino patients. The 5-year project, awarded to Ochin, Inc., a nonprofit health IT collaborative in Oregon, will leverage a robust electronic health record database spanning over 2 million Latino patients across more than 40 states. Key objectives include: 1) defining the use and variation of social risk screening among Latino vs. non-Latino white patients; 2) determining the prevalence and associations of social risks with receipt of recommended cancer preventive services; and 3) examining the relationships between social risks, healthcare utilization, and cancer outcomes. This research seeks to fill critical gaps in understanding how social determinants of health impact cancer care and outcomes for underserved Latino populations.
