This clinical trial studies community-based interventions on social determinants of health (SDOH) to reduce inequalities in Black breast and prostate cancer survivors. There are many barriers to receiving optimal healthcare including transportation to appointments or insurance coverage, and there are barriers to taking care of health at home such as access to healthy foods or stable housing. This research wants to make survivorship care more effective by addressing social determinants of health, or the lifestyle, environmental, and health-based factors that may it hard to receive the care that Black cancer survivors need within the healthcare system.
