Fumiko Ladd Chino: National study of Inpatient care in people experiencing homelessness

Fumiko Ladd Chino shared on X:

“Our national study of Inpatient care in people experiencing homelessness found they were less likely to get invasive procedures or systemic treatment despite increased aggressive cancers, increased illness severity, and increased length of stay. This patient population is understudied, data is scarce, and research is under-resourced.”
