Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor, and some groups are diagnosed with higher-grade tumors and have clinically worse outcomes. This study investigates social determinants of health and individual risk factors that may be associated with meningioma.
Adults ≥18 years of age

Diagnosed with a meningioma
Active psychiatric issues (suicidality, active psychosis, grave disability, etc.)
Inability to consent secondary to severe neurologic deficit or psychiatric distress

Adult participants receiving care at the University of California, San Francisco who have been diagnosed with meningioma.
Case-only

Identifying potential social and structural determinants of health (SSDH)
The prevalence of SSDH factors such as race and ethnicity, birthplace, relationship status, sexual orientation/gender identity, education level, socio-economic status, access to care, reproductive/menstrual history, health factors and medication use, chemical and radiation exposure, smoking history, and perceived stress for participants with meningioma will be analyzed using multilevel logistic and linear models accounting for geographical clustering.
Distribution of social and structural determinants of health
The distribution of SSDH factors across racial groups will be analyzed using multilevel logistic and linear models accounting for geographical clustering.
Identify disparities in social and structural determinants of health (SSDH)
Disparities of SSDH factors across racial groups will be analyzed using multilevel logistic and linear models accounting for geographical clustering.
