Numerous studies have observed that lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with increased risk of incident cancer for some sites and reduced survival for most cancer sites. However, evidence of the impact of SES is limited because SES is often measured at an aggregate or area level (e.g., mean household income for a zip code or census tract, proportion poor in a block group). Investigators at the Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC) propose to implement a strategy developed by investigators at the Utah Cancer Registry (UCR) that permits a direct measurement of SES at the individual level through record linkage of cancer cases to state birth certificate records. In collaboration with UCR, investigators at the CRGC propose to assess the feasibility of applying Utah¿s linkage methodologies to California births from 1997 to 2009, using data from the California Office of Vital Statistics. In addition, pediatric cancer cases born during or after 1997 will be identified from the California Cancer Registry (CCR) and these cases will be matched against the birth records. From this linked file, SES will be determined using the parent¿s occupation and industry to determine each cases SES at birth. Using cohort and case-control methods, the effect of SES on pediatric cancers will be studied. Results will be compared and contrasted with the comparable pediatric population in Utah. These data will also be compared to census based measures to determine comparability. This research may provide a better understanding of health and cancer disparities in terms of SES and provide a methodology for other cancer registries to follow. In collaboration with the Utah Cancer Registry (UCR), a strategy they developed will be implemented that permits a direct measurement of SES at the individual level through linking cancer registry cases to state birth certificate records. There is interest in obtaining a better understanding health and cancer disparities in terms of SES, which is a major focus of the National Cancer Institute¿s (NCI) strategic plan.

许多研究已经观察到，较低的社会经济地位(SES)与某些部位发生癌症的风险增加和大多数癌症部位的存活率降低有关。然而，关于SES影响的证据有限，因为SES通常是在总体或区域层面上衡量的(例如，邮政编码或人口普查区域的平均家庭收入，街区组中贫困人口的比例)。大加州癌症登记处(CRGC)的调查人员建议实施犹他州癌症登记处(UCR)调查人员开发的一项战略，该战略允许通过将癌症病例与州出生证明记录联系起来，在个人层面直接测量SES。在与加州大学研究中心的合作下，CRGC的研究人员建议使用加州生命统计办公室的数据，评估1997年至2009年期间将犹他州S链接方法应用于加州出生的可行性。此外，1997年或以后出生的儿童癌症病例将从加州癌症登记中心(CCR)进行识别，并将这些病例与出生记录进行匹配。从这个链接文件中，将使用S的父母职业和行业来确定每个病例出生时的社会经济状况。采用队列和病例对照的方法，研究SES对儿童癌症的影响。结果将与犹他州可比的儿科人口进行比较和对比。这些数据还将与基于人口普查的措施进行比较，以确定可比性。这项研究可能会更好地了解健康和癌症在SES方面的差异，并为其他癌症登记机构提供一种可效仿的方法。 与犹他州癌症登记中心(UCR)合作，将实施他们开发的一项战略，通过将癌症登记病例与州出生证明记录联系起来，允许在个人层面上直接测量SES。人们有兴趣更好地了解SES方面的健康和癌症差异，这是国家癌症研究所S战略计划的一个主要重点。
