Treatment and study plan

Video Education Program

Behavioral

The following topics are addressed in each module of the videos:

  • Understanding cancer and cancer treatment - including an understanding of stage, site of origin, metastases, treatment options, toxicities and anticipated outcomes.
  • Care coordination basics (CC: Communication) - including navigating care related to appointments, how to handle issues after-hours, and the expected roles of other healthcare providers (e.g., PCPs).
  • How to be a self-advocate (CC: Navigation and Operational) - including how to ask questions, being empowered to talk to your doctor, when a second opinion is needed, when to explore clinical trials, and how to best incorporate a caregiver into your treatment.

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in rural patients' perceptions of cancer care coordination as assessed by the Care Coordination Instrument at 4-6 months post-intervention.

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rural patient satisfaction with video education materials as assessed by semi-structured telephone interview.

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. To examine patient demographic and clinical information collected from the background questionnaire as potential correlates of patients' perceptions of cancer care coordination at post-intervention

    Time frame: 6 months
