Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this proposed study is to enhance the investigators understanding of the comprehensive psychosocial and medical needs of rural cancer patients and survivors along the cancer continuum, ultimately allowing us to address these gaps by identifying areas of support that can be bolstered by a population health navigator focused on rural populations.

Description:

Primary objectives

To enhance understanding of the comprehensive psychosocial and medical needs of cancer survivors and caregivers in rural northwest North Carolina, focusing on their health needs, psychosocial concerns, perceived needs related to cancer and survivorship care, access/barriers to care, and knowledge/perceptions of clinical research using focus groups and semi-structured interviews. This aim is hypothesis-generating.

To document rural cancer patient/survivors' reports of: a) health behaviors; b) psychosocial needs; c) current health-related information and supportive care needs; d) barriers to care; e) symptoms and health-related quality of life using a quantitative survey
