Abstract
Patients who experience more severe symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis are associated with having greater socioeconomic challenges or higher social barrier scores (SBS). Inflammatory Bowel Disease describes two conditions, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease, characterized by gastrointestinal (GI) tract inflammation. Ulcerative Colitis is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) characterized by large intestine inflammation. Research has shown that multiple social determinants of health (SDOH) hinder achieving desirable health outcomes in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease community. These include financial strains, poor health literacy, and lack of access to education. Additionally, social barriers disproportionately affect non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic people.
