The 'Stepped Collaborative Care Intervention' includes at least biweekly contact from a care coordinator by phone and face to face visits occurring approximately every 2 months, and 24 hour 7 day a week access to a website that was specifically designed during the pilot study for advanced cancer patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Patients randomized to the 'Enhanced Usual Care' arm receive their usual care from their medical team. However, if the patient scores in the clinical range on one or more of the three symptoms s/he will receive education about the symptom and be referred to the appropriate health care provider for further treatment in their community. The care coordinator will follow up with the patient after 3 weeks to assess barriers to treatment and assist further with accessing treatment if needed.

To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.

The intervention is designed to maintain quality of life for those in greatest need and least access to resources. This innovative and scalable web-based collaborative care intervention is expected not only to improve patients' quality of life, at the end of life, but also reduce caregiver stress and depression, and potentially health morbidity and mortality of patients and spousal and intimate partner caregivers from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Study findings are expected to lead to research examining the dissemination and implementation of the intervention.
