Racial Bias Correlates with States Having Fewer Health Professional Shortage Areas and Fewer Federally Qualified Community Health Center Sites

Lonnie R. Snowden et al.

Summary: This study found that greater racial bias is associated with fewer FQHC delivery sites and fewer HPSA designations at the state level. This bias leads to neglect in identifying and providing healthcare services for African Americans and other low-income individuals.

Association of Residential Racial and Economic Segregation With Cancer Mortality in the US

Lu Zhang et al.

Summary: Residential segregation is an important factor in poor cancer outcomes. Previous research was limited in its scope, and a comprehensive evaluation of the association between segregation and cancer outcomes is needed. This ecological study used county-level data in the US and found that residential segregation is associated with higher cancer mortality.

Speeding implementation in cancer: The National Cancer Institute's Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control

April Y. Oh et al.

Summary: The National Cancer Institute's Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control (ISC3) Network is a large-scale initiative aimed at creating an infrastructure to reduce cancer risk and improve outcomes through the translation of evidence-based treatments. This network, funded by the Cancer Moonshot(SM), consists of 7 Centers that facilitate the development, testing, and refinement of innovative approaches to cancer control interventions. The ISC3 also focuses on enhancing capacity for implementing implementation science approaches among researchers, practitioners, and communities.

Addressing health disparities through implementation science-a need to integrate an equity lens from the outset

Andrew D. Kerkhoff et al.

Summary: This paper highlights the importance of integrating an equity lens in the implementation process and presents four key pre-implementation steps and associated questions for researchers to consider in order to select and design interventions and strategies that effectively reduce health disparities among vulnerable populations.

Large-scale diet tracking data reveal disparate associations between food environment and diet

Tim Althoff et al.

Summary: An unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for chronic diseases. Limited access to healthy food options may contribute to unhealthy diets. A nationwide observational study utilizing smartphones found that better access to grocery stores, lower access to fast food, higher income, and higher education are independently associated with healthier eating habits.

Social determinants of health and cancer mortality in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort study

Laura C. Pinheiro et al.

Summary: The cumulative burden of social determinants of health (SDOHs) increases the risk of cancer mortality, especially in younger age groups. Factors such as low education, low income, zip code poverty, and lack of health insurance are significantly associated with cancer mortality.

How Dissemination and Implementation Science Can Contribute to the Advancement of Learning Health Systems

Katy E. Trinkley et al.

Summary: Many health systems are striving to become learning health systems (LHSs), but face challenges such as balancing evaluation rapidity with rigor, applying principles of health equity and ethics, and focusing on external validity and reproducibility. Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science methods may help overcome these challenges and foster the development of mature LHSs.

Association of area-level socioeconomic status and non-small cell lung cancer stage by race/ethnicity and health care-level factors: Analysis of the National Cancer Database

Anjali Gupta et al.

Summary: This study found that area-level income and education are strongly associated with an advanced NSCLC diagnosis regardless of the facility type and among those with government and private insurance. 50% of NH Black patients were in the lowest income quartile, while only 17% of NH White patients were in this group.

Association Between Housing Affordability and Severe Maternal Morbidity

Felix M. Muchomba et al.

Summary: The study aims to estimate the associations between area-level rental housing costs and severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and assess the potential mitigating role of publicly supported affordable housing. The results suggest that greater availability of publicly supported affordable housing could reduce the association between rental housing costs and SMM and reduce socioeconomic disparities.

Longitudinal associations between the neighborhood social, natural, and built environment and mental health: A systematic review with meta-analyses

Yuwen Sui et al.

Summary: This review aimed to assess the longitudinal associations between neighborhood social, natural, and built environments, and multiple mental health outcomes. The results showed a negative association between composite neighborhood socioeconomic status and pooled mental disorders, and a positive association between neighborhood urbanicity and pooled mental disorders. Further longitudinal studies with standardized exposure assessments are needed.

Neighborhood-Level Redlining and Lending Bias Are Associated with Breast Cancer Mortality in a Large and Diverse Metropolitan Area

Lindsay J. Collin et al.

Summary: The study revealed that living in redlined areas significantly increases breast cancer mortality, while residing in areas with pronounced lending bias decreases breast cancer mortality. Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic White women experience different levels of mortality under these influences, highlighting the need for further research.

Neighborhood Social Environmental Factors and Breast Cancer Subtypes among Black Women

Bo Qin et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between neighborhood-level socioeconomic status and breast cancer subtypes among Black women, finding that Black women living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods have an increased risk of triple-negative breast cancer, particularly in areas with lower proportions of Black residents. The findings suggest that where people live may influence breast tumor biology, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of multilevel pathways contributing to tumor biology.

Implementation science should give higher priority to health equity

Ross C. Brownson et al.

Summary: The article proposes a vision and action steps to make health equity a more prominent focus in implementation science, emphasizing the importance of conducting research through equity-focused principles. It identifies challenges in current health disparities approaches and offers recommendations to address these challenges. The conclusion stresses the importance of incorporating an equity focus in every implementation science project to ensure that existing disparities are not widened.

Summary: This study reviewed the literature on the relationship between neighborhood effects and cancer survivorship outcomes, finding that most research mainly focuses on themes such as survivorship disparities, primary care, and weight management. The majority of articles primarily examine or only examine neighborhood socioeconomic status as a factor, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary research to expand to include neighborhood metrics endorsed by current paradigms in health design.
