“…Additionally, integrating social services into clinical settings, such as on-site counseling and financial assistance, can ameliorate patient well-being and alleviate the burden of cancer-related physical and psychological symptoms. Collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, policymakers, community organizations, and advocacy groups are vital for successful intervention implementation, particularly for underserved populations [4,[32][33][34].…”

Purpose This study aimed to understand how health-related quality of life (HRQoL) differs by race/ethnicity in colorectal (CRC) survivors. We aimed to 1) examine racial/ethnic disparities in HRQoL, and 2) explore the roles of social determinants of health (SDOH) risk factors for HRQoL differ by racial/ethnic groups. Methods In 2,492 adult CRC survivors using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey data (from 2014 to 2021, excluding 2015 due to the absence of CRC data), we used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HRQoL measure, categorized into “better” and “poor.” Multivariate logistic regressions with prevalence risk (PR) were employed for our primary analyses. Results Compared with non-Hispanic Whites (NHW), non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) (PR = 0.61, p = .045) and Hispanics (PR = 0.32, p < .001) reported worse HRQoL in adjusted models. In adjusted models, unemployed/retired and low-income levels were common risk factors for worse HRQoL across all comparison groups (NHW, NHB, non-Hispanic other races, and Hispanics). Other SDOH associated with worse HRQoL include divorced/widowed/never married marital status (non-Hispanic other races and Hispanics), living in rural areas (NHW and NHB), and low education levels (NHB and Hispanics). Marital status, education, and employment status significantly interacted with race/ethnicity, with the strongest interaction between Hispanics and education (PR = 2.45, p = .045) in adjusted models. Conclusion These findings highlight the need for culturally tailored interventions targeting modifiable factors (e.g., social and financial supports, health literacy), specifically for socially vulnerable CRC survivors, to address the disparities in HRQoL among different racial/ethnic groups.
