Comparing Supportive Cancer Care Models for Adults with Cancer

This study is comparing two ways to provide supportive care for adults newly diagnosed with solid tumor cancer or a recurrence. One approach, called "technology-based supportive cancer care," involves sending you information about advance care planning and managing symptoms through messages or email. The other approach, "redesigned team-based supportive cancer care," involves meeting one-on-one with a Lay Health Worker to discuss these topics. We want to see if one approach is better at improving your health-related quality of life. You can join if you are 18 or older, have a solid tumor cancer diagnosis or recurrence, can give verbal consent, and speak English, Spanish, Chinese, or Vietnamese. We are looking to enroll about 2996 people.

Study design
This study is designed to compare two different supportive care approaches. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups, and about 2996 people are expected to join.
What's involved
You will receive educational materials weekly or every other week for 12 months. You will also complete surveys at the start of the study, and then at 3, 6, and 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your health-related quality of life will be assessed at 3 months after you join the study.
