Abstract
By targeting income and financial stress as key social determinants of health, unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) may improve cancer health outcomes and reduce cancer health disparities. Described in policy circles as guaranteed or basic income, UCTs have been shown to improve a range of health outcomes in low-income populations but have not yet been examined as a targeted intervention for people with cancer. This article describes some of the lessons learned from launching the Guaranteed Income and Financial Treatment trial, a two-arm randomized controlled trial of UCTs in oncology, along with a rationale for studying UCTs in people with cancer who have low incomes, and presents an introductory primer on UCT research for oncology clinicians and researchers and future directions for research.
