| Popis: | 10547 Background: Disruptions of daily life activities during the CVOID-19 pandemic have adversely affected cancer-prevention behaviors. Socioeconomic status (SES) impacts on changes in cancer prevention behaviors have not been fully investigated. To tackle this gap, we examined the effects of SES on COVID-19 related changes in cancer prevention behaviors. Methods: We invited participants from previous studies conducted at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center who agreed to be re-contacted to participate in a survey assessing the impact of COVID-19 on various behaviors between June and November 2020. Participants reported current cancer prevention behaviors, including physical activity, daily fruit and vegetable intake, alcohol consumption, and tobacco use. In addition, participants reported qualitative changes in current behaviors relative to pre-COVID levels. We combined current behaviors with COVID-related changes to construct a 24-point cancer prevention score. Participants were classified into low, middle, or high SES based on household income, education, and employment status. Adjusted multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between SES and COVID-19 related changes in cancer prevention behaviors. Results: The study sample included 6136 eligible participants. The average age was 57 years, 67% were female, 89% were non-Hispanic White, and 33% lived in non-metro counties. The proportion of participants in the lowest cancer prevention behavior quartile decreased significantly with higher SES [low SES vs. high SES; 32% vs. 28%; P-value |
