Examining COVID-19 preventive behaviors among cancer survivors in the United States: An analysis of the COVID-19 impact survey
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention Oct 30, 2020
Islam JY, Camacho-Rivera M, Vidot DC., et al. - Researchers sought to determine COVID-19–related preventive behaviors among cancer survivors in the United States using nationally representative data of 10,760 US adults from the COVID-19 Impact Survey. Among these adults, 854 were cancer survivors (7.6%). Adherence to recommended preventive behaviors was noted to be more frequent among cancer survivors vs adults without cancer, including social distancing, wearing a face mask, and avoiding crowded areas. Cancer survivors were more likely to cancel doctor's appointments, though they were less likely to cancel other social activities such as work and school-related activities. Non-Hispanic (NH)-Black cancer survivors were less likely to cancel a doctor's appointment vs NH-White cancer survivors; cancer survivors aged 18 to 29, who were female, and who had least one comorbid condition were also more likely.
