Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of housing instability and its associations with cost-related nonadherence and financial toxicity among adults with uncontrolled diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed baseline randomized controlled trial data from 600 adults with uncontrolled diabetes and cost-related barriers to care. Logistic and linear regression assessed associations of housing instability with cost-related nonadherence and financial toxicity. RESULTS Half (n = 298) reported housing instability, which was associated with greater odds of cost-related nonadherence (adjusted odds ratio 1.64; 95% CI 1.05, 2.56) and worse financial toxicity (B = −4.64; 95% CI −6.20, −3.09). Cost-related nonadherence was not significant after adjusting for diabetes distress and symptoms of depression and anxiety; financial toxicity remained significant. In sensitivity analyses, worry about housing costs, not housing or utility needs, was associated with financial toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Housing instability was associated with financial toxicity and, in primary models, with cost-related nonadherence. Findings should be validated in longitudinal, nationally representative samples.
