Tumor Genomics, Individual Risk Factors, and External Drivers of Health on Health Outcomes for Patients With Meningioma

An Investigation of Tumor Genomics, Individual Risk Factors, and External Drivers of Health to Improve Health Outcomes for Patients With Meningioma

Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor, and some groups are diagnosed with higher-grade tumors and have clinically worse outcomes. This study investigates social determinants of health and individual risk factors that may be associated with meningioma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess prevalence and distribution of social and structural determinants of health (SSDH) among meningioma patients.

II. To assess disparities in SSDH among meningioma patients of different races.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Participants will complete a survey and have their medical records reviewed.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults ≥18 years of age
• Able to speak and read English
• Diagnosed with a meningioma

Exclusion Criteria:

• Active psychiatric issues (suicidality, active psychosis, grave disability, etc.)
• Inability to consent secondary to severe neurologic deficit or psychiatric distress
• Inability to complete survey secondary to severe neurologic deficit or psychiatric distress
