Abstract

= 0.201). The impact of social vulnerability was experienced disproportionately by Black patients. Among patients living in the most vulnerable census tracts, Black patients were significantly less likely to be screened for CRC compared to White patients facing similar social vulnerability. In contrast, we did not observe a difference in screening rates by race in the most affluent (least socially vulnerable) group.
