Short Abstract:
The objective of this study was to summarize how racism and, the social determinants of health disproportionately affect rural racial/ethnic minority populations, and provide a review of the cancer disparities experienced by rural racial/ethnic minority groups, along with recommend policy, research, and intervention approaches to reduce these disparities. The results found that rural Black and American Indian/Alaska Native populations experience greater poverty and lack of access to care, which expose them to greater risk of developing cancer and experiencing poorer cancer outcomes in treatment and ultimately survival.
