The role of area-level socioeconomic disadvantage in racial disparities in cancer incidence in metropolitan Detroit.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neighborhood deprivation is associated with both race and cancer incidence, but there is a need to better understand the effect of structural inequities on racial cancer disparities. The goal of this analysis was to evaluate the relationship between a comprehensive measure of neighborhood-level social disadvantage and cancer incidence within the racially diverse population of metropolitan Detroit.

Methods

We estimated breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer incidence rates using Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance System and US decennial census data. Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage was measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI) using Census Bureau's American Community Survey data at the Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMA) level.
