Dr. Reggie Tucker-Seeley: Hello and welcome to the second season of the ASCO Social Determinants of Health series. I am Dr. Reggie Tucker-Seeley, Vice President of Health Equity at ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer, and Chair Elect at ASCO's Health Equity and Outcomes Committee. With me today is Dr. Lori Pierce, Professor with tenure in Radiation Oncology, and Vice Provost for Academic and Faculty Affairs at the University of Michigan, and Director of the Michigan Radiation Oncology Quality Consortium. Dr. Pierce served as President of ASCO in 2020 through 2021, and is the current Chair of the Board of the Association for Clinical Oncology. Welcome, Dr. Pierce. Thank you for joining us today. Dr. Lori Pierce: I am absolutely delighted to join you today. So thank you for having me. And I am particularly thrilled to be talking about social determinants of health and to be the first of the 2.0 episodes of Social Determinants of Health. As you know, we had an initial series, and it really focused on some of the basics of the social determinants of health and really understanding the impact of these determinants on cancer care. And when we did the first Social Determinants of Health series, we really focused on trainees and early career oncologists because, of course, these are going to be our future leaders. So we had an advisory group made up of trainees and early oncologists, and they suggested various topics, and those topics then led to the series. So it is a thrill for me to be on the first episode of Social Determinants of Health 2.0. Dr. Reggie Tucker-Seeley: Great. And I participated in that first round. So those first episodes were really meant to lay the foundation to introduce social determinants of health to the oncology community. And in this next set of episodes, what we're attempting to do is to answer the question of how to address social determinants in the cancer care delivery system to advance cancer health equity. While we've been talking about social determinants of health and public health, which is where I was trained for quite some time now, these discussions are relatively new in healthcare delivery and cancer care delivery and research. So in this next set of episodes, what we're hoping to do is to answer the question that I often get asked, that we all often get asked in the social determinants of health space by cancer care providers, by cancer care researchers and community organizations, is: What can we do? How do we actually address social determinants in the cancer care delivery system? So in this episode, we will discuss where the current conversation is in cancer care delivery related to the social determinants of health and hopefully help to move from talking about this issue to action within the cancer care delivery system. And Dr. Pierce will share her thoughts on how far we have come and how far we have to go when it comes to addressing the social determinants of health and cancer health inequities. So there's been an increase in the discussion about social determinants of health and patient social needs. However, I've realized in my own work related to health disparities and social determinants of health that not everyone comes to the table knowing what these terms mean. And one of our first podcast episodes was about defining terms. And our Social Determinants of Health Task Force introduced our definitions for these terms in our ASCO Daily News post that I co-authored with Dr. Surendranath Shastri of MD. Anderson. But Dr. Pierce, can you tell our listeners why these initial first steps of aligning on definitions is so important and how you define these terms for your practice and for your research? Dr. Lori Pierce: So I prefer to use a comprehensive community-based definition of social determinants of health. I know, as you said, there are different ways that we can define it, but I have generally used the World Health Organization's definition. It's a very comprehensive definition. Social determinants of health are really those non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. And they talk about these conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, so along the full continuum. And they talk about the wider set of forces and systems that really shape the conditions of...
