Social determinants

__Of management and mortality
Two stories in the January 2012 issue of European Journal of Cancer:
* Differences according to socioeconomic status in the management and mortality in men with high risk prostate cancer. Excerpt: Amongst 17,522 high risk prostate cancer patients, a bone scan was more often performed in higher white-collar than in blue-collar workers.
* Colorectal cancer survival in socioeconomic groups in England. Except: For colon cancer there was a very high excess death rate in the first month of follow-up, and the excess death rate was highest in the socioeconomically deprived groups.

“Overcoming barriers to information needs may be less dependent on literacy considerations and more dependent on issues that divide across levels of educational attainment.” - excerpt
