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.

Subject: [TRBHealth] ASCO Post: US Cancer Survivors More Likely To Report Delays In Healthcare Due To Transportation Barriers Than Individuals Without History Of Cancer, Study Finds
Let me know if you want a copy of the complete article
The
ASCO Post (3/31, Stenger) reports, “In a study,” investigators “found that U.S. cancer survivors were more likely to report delays in health care due to transportation barriers than persons without a history of cancer,
with the difference driven by barriers among younger cancer survivors.” The
findings were published in a research letter in JAMA Oncology.
