Understanding Why Cancer Patients Decline Social Needs Support
This observational study wants to understand why some adult cancer patients who have health-related social needs (HRSNs) like issues with transportation, food, housing, or utilities, choose not to accept help from their healthcare team. You would complete a one-time electronic survey. A smaller group of participants will also be invited for a semi-structured interview via Zoom. The study aims to find out what factors influence your decision to use supportive care services for these needs. This study is for cancer patients aged 18 and older who can read and understand English. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 500 participants.
