Brief Title: Improving Care for Rural Patients With Solid Tumors
Official Title: Improving the Timeliness and Quality of Care for Rural Patients With Solid Tumors
Study ID: NCT04916990
Brief Summary: This study will assess if the CARES (Cancer Advocacy, Resources, Education and Support) intervention improves time to start of treatment after diagnosis and time to treatment completion for solid tumors (ex: lung, head, neck, thyroid, cervical, breast, bladder, colon, and rectal cancers) in rural patients.
Detailed Description: This is a randomized study. 320 participants will be enrolled to the CARES intervention or usual care arms. All participants will complete surveys to assess Quality of Care and Patient Reported outcomes at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. The CARES intervention will include a maximum of 10 navigation and 10 counseling sessions delivered over approximately a 6- month period delivered by oncology nurse navigators and master's level counselors. Sessions will be scheduled to correspond with key transition points during treatment and may be held in person, virtually, or by phone. Patients enrolled to the usual care arm will receive a standardized list of resources. Participation will last 6 months.
