Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
I. Demonstrate the efficacy of the DVD intervention to a) increase patients' knowledge of their legal rights in the workplace, b) improve patient perceptions of workplace communication about the impact of cancer treatment and ongoing surveillance, and c) increase the number of requested and received workplace accommodations.
II. Compare employment status (employed vs non-employed) between the treatment and control arms.
III. Compare weekly hours of work between the treatment and control arms.
