[TRBHealth] Re: ASCO Post: US Cancer Survivors More Likely To Report Delays In Healthcare Due To Transportation Barriers Than Individuals Without History Of Cancer, Study Finds

Thanks. I couldn’t access the paper. Did they adjust for SEP or health behaviours? E.g. people with cancer are more likely to be smokers with a poor diet and are more likely to be from disadvantaged communities, so it’s presumably confounding and transport barriers are due to poor provision and poverty not to the cancer.
