What the study is about

The Proactive Costs of Care intervention is an educational intervention designed to help patients deal with the cost of cancer care. The main goal of this trial is to evaluate whether the Proactive Costs of Care intervention can be successfully delivered to cancer patients who are starting a new treatment and their caregivers by looking at how many participants complete the intervention. The other questions the trial aims to answer are whether the intervention can:

  • Improve confidence in solving problems related to costs of care
  • Reduce distress related to finances

Participants will complete the Proactive Costs of Care intervention, which is an approximately 30-minute one-time session with a lay educator reviewing the Proactive Costs of Care Guide and Cost Tracker. The intervention can be completed in person, by video, and by phone. Participants will also complete two surveys- one to be completed before the intervention and one to be completed 3 months after the intervention.

Being studied: Educational Intervention

Conditions: Financial Burden; Financial Toxicity; Financial Stress; Financial Navigation; Gynecologic Cancers; Caregiver Burnout
