Study of a Distress Screening and Referral Program for Recently Diagnosed Cancer

This study is looking at how well a program works to identify and help people with new solid tumor cancer diagnoses who are feeling distressed. The program uses a tool called the NCCN Distress Thermometer to measure your distress levels. The goal is to see how many people are referred to mental health services after using this screening program. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a new solid tumor cancer diagnosis, are being treated at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, and speak English or Spanish. The study aims to enroll 50 participants, but its current status is unclear.
