슬롯 사이트 Disparities ACS Research Highlights

The 슬롯사이트 - 프라그마틱 무료 슬롯 게임 사이트 (ACS) believes everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive cancer. That belief guides the ACS to conduct and support research to help understand cancer inequalities and create strategies for overcoming them.?

Understanding 슬롯 사이트 Disparities

슬롯 사이트 is a disease that can affect anyone, but it doesn¡¯t affect everyone equally.?

Many social structures and practices can limit a person¡¯s access to health care they need to prevent, treat, and survive cancer. These obstacles may include racism, discrimination, poverty, lack of access to healthy and affordable foods, low quality education and housing, and jobs with inadequate pay.

A health disparity?is when the quality of health care differs between people because of discrimination based on:

  • Age
  • Disability status
  • Health insurance coverage
  • Gender identity
  • Geography (where a person lives)
  • Income
  • Race or ethnicity (racism)

Health care disparities can affect every step of cancer care ¡ª from prevention and screening to the quality of life after cancer treatment, which means disparities in care can affect who develops and dies from cancer.
