CARES for Cancer-Related Symptoms
This study is looking at an intervention called CARES, which combines screening and stepped collaborative care, to help people with cancer manage common symptoms like depression, pain, and fatigue. It's being compared to the usual care you would receive, which involves screening and then being referred to a provider. Researchers want to see if CARES improves your overall quality of life. They are also studying how easy or difficult it is to put CARES into practice in real-world settings. You can join if you have a cancer diagnosis, are 18 or older, and can read and write in English. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 1750 people.
