Statistics
In addition to their explanation of cancer health disparities, NCI also provides a breakdown of different statistics on cancer deaths.
Social Determinants of Health
Social determinants are defined as the conditions in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age. These determinants are shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources across society, and they affect health in terms of overall personal function, quality of life, risks, and outcomes.
Effective Quote from the journal: “We must acknowledge that health inequities are the result of social, economic, and political injustice”
