Neighborhood vulnerability and associations with poor health-related quality of life among adult survivors of childhood cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies have investigated the relationship between neighborhood vulnerability and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the childhood cancer population. This study evaluated the impact of neighborhood vulnerability on HRQOL among adult survivors of childhood cancer.

Methods

This cross-sectional study included 4393 adult survivors of childhood cancer from the St Jude Lifetime Cohort Study. At the baseline (2007-2020), HRQOL was assessed using the SF36v2's physical and mental components summaries (PCS and MCS).

Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate associations of neighborho
