Implication

Systematic screening identifies financial hardship and health-related social needs in pediatric oncology, highlighting disparities in response rates.

Key Points

  • Systematic screening revealed that 76% of pediatric oncology patients faced financial hardship.
  • Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black patients had higher prevalence rates of food insecurity compared to other ethnic groups.
  • Screening methods included in-person outreach and electronic health record tools for effective data collection.
  • Feasible systematic screening can facilitate early interventions for at-risk pediatric oncology families.
