Cancer Programs Launch SDOH Screening Survey

The CoC and ACS Cancer Research Program recently sent out a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Screening Survey to CoC-accredited institutions to understand current SDOH screening practices used by CoC-accredited institutions in the outpatient setting to meet the nonmedical needs of their patients. Responses will provide critical information to increase our understanding of how the needs of diverse cancer populations can best be identified and addressed.

An email was sent out to the Cancer Program Administrator at each CoC-accredited facility from REDCap@facs.org. The survey will be open for 6 weeks, and a reminder will be sent after 3 weeks. Your feedback is extremely valuable; please submit the survey so your program’s experience with SDOH screening is represented. No incentives, including credit for any CoC standard, will be provided for participation in the survey.

Read the July/August ACS Bulletin for more information on the role of SDOH screening on cancer outcomes. If you have questions, reach out to cancerresearchprogram@facs.org.
