Enhancing Community Capacity to Improve Cancer Care Delivery
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT04107116
Purpose
Undertreated patient symptoms and resulting acute care use require approaches that improve
symptom-burden. Previously a a lay health worker (LHW)-led symptom screening intervention was
developed for patients with advanced cancer. This intervention will be expanded to all
patients with cancer and the LHW will be trained to refer patients to palliative care and
behavioral health. This intervention will evaluate the effect on symptom-burden, survival,
healthcare use, and total costs.
