Summary
This study looks at how screening for social needs (like food, housing, and transportation) and connecting Black breast and prostate cancer survivors with community health workers can improve their quality of life and well-being. Researchers are also testing anti-racism training for clinic staff to reduce discrimination. About 1,100 survivors in Washington, D.C. are taking part.
