Abstract
This study explores mental health outcomes in rural versus urban cancer survivors. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the National Health Interview Survey (2021-2023) on adults with a cancer diagnosis within the past 10 years (n=6,593). Results: Unadjusted data indicated 25% higher odds of depression in rural compared to urban cancer survivors (OR=1.25, p<0.01). However, there was no significant association when controlling for age, sex, race, education level, marital status, poverty level, type of health insurance, and general health status (OR=0.88, p=0.08 OR=1.10, p=0.19). Conclusion: One or more factors are influencing the association between depression and rurality among cancer survivors. Sinz, Katherine
