Children from low-SES households are up to twice as likely to experience poor health outcomes compared to their higher-income peers (Gautam et al., 2023).
In the United States, 73% of studies found that low SES was associated with worse childhood cancer survival (Gupta et al., 2014).
Lack of insurance was significantly associated with inferior survival outcomes in all studies that examined this factor in pediatric cancer care (Gupta et al., 2014).
Children from lower-income families are significantly more likely to experience emotional distress and anxiety during medical treatment (Bhatia, 2011).
