The Impact of Social Determinants of Health on the Time Between Diagnostic Breast Imaging and Biopsy at a Safety Net Hospital

Kevin Dao et al.

Summary: Although the social determinants of health (SDH) are believed to influence health outcomes, there is limited research on their direct impact on delays in breast cancer diagnosis. This study aims to identify SDH that contribute to longer lapses between breast imaging and biopsy, which is crucial for early-stage detection and survival. The findings suggest that housing insecurity and education desires may affect the timing of diagnostic procedures.
