Problem
Social determinants are associated with disease incidence and mortality and they contribute to health disparities between different demographic groups. What do the incidence and mortality rates of cancers of the stomach, colon, and lung in New Mexico's different racial/ethnic populations suggest about the causes of racial/ethnic disparities in these cancers in NM?
Discuss the epidemiology of cancers of the stomach, colon, and lung in New Mexico using the most recent years of data available. Describe the patterns of disparities you see and what they suggest about the possible positive or negative influence of social determinants on the incidence and mortality of these diseases.
