Redes III Patient Navigator Qol Study

Study Summary

This proposed 5-year Redes En Acción research study involves a mixed-methods approach that occurs in two phases across two distinct and diverse HL communities. The RCT involves a 2 X 4 randomized repeated measures design with experimental condition (combined patient navigation \[PN\] over 3 months with access to LCNS PN services\[PNLCNS\] vs. a PN only condition) as the between-groups factor, and time-point (baseline/pre-randomization \[T1\]; post-PNLCNS \[about 3-months post-T1; T2\], and about 6- \[T3\] and about 12-months \[T4\] follow-up post-T2) as the within-groups factor; total follow-up is 15 months. The investigators will compare the effects of the PNLCNS and PN only conditions on QOL and treatment follow-up compliance in 300 (after attrition; n=100, Chicago and n=100, San Antonio) breast, colorectal and prostate HL cancer survivors with no evidence of metastatic disease.

Primary Outcome

The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) will be administered to evaluate general domains of QOL. The FACT-G, now in its fourth revision, is one of the most widely used instruments to assess overall adjustment to cancer treatment and survivorship. It is a 27-item self-report questionnaire that takes less than 15 minutes to administer. The FACT-G assesses QOL in four domains of well-being: physical, social/family, emotional and functional well-being. Patients are asked to indi
