An unconditional cash transfer of $100 monthly may enhance health outcomes for cancer survivors experiencing food insecurity, according to research in JNCI Cancer Spectrum. The study involved 17 patients with breast or gynecologic cancer at the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center. Those receiving the cash transfer reported better physical health and diet quality, with fewer food insecurity indicators. At 3 months, none in the cash transfer group reported severe food insecurity, compared to the usual care group. Additionally, 80% of the cash transfer group consumed at least 2.5 cups of fruits and vegetables daily, versus 22% in the usual care group.
