Replication Data for: Social Risk Factors and Cancer Prevention Care among Patients in Community Health Care Settings

Social risks are negatively associated with receipt of cancer preventive care. As knowledge is lacking on the pathways underlying these associations, we investigated associations between patient-reported social risks and colorectal (CRC), cervical (CVC), and breast cancer (BC) screening order provision and screening completion.

This study included patients eligible for CRC, CVC, or BC screening at 186 community-based clinics between July 1, 2015 and February 29, 2020. Outcomes included: up-to-date status for indicated cancer screenings at baseline; percent of subsequent study months in which patients were up to date on screenings; screening order receipt; and screening completion. Independent variables were patient-reported food insecurity, transportation difficulties, and housing instability. Analyses used covariate-adjusted generalized estimating equation models, stratified by social risk.
