Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a model of patient navigation that investigators hope will address the unique needs of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and their families by minimizing barriers in their care and potentially improving the outcomes of their treatment while reducing distress and enhancing quality of life. Investigators plan to achieve this by increasing access to, and use of, the resources available at Moffitt Cancer Center for AYA patients and their families.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Up to 80 participants may be recruited to this study at Moffitt Cancer Center to obtain a final sample size of 60 completed participants.

Participants will be identified in consultation with the patient's primary oncologist and program social worker. A research assistant (RA) will verify eligibility and consent eligible patients.

After completing a baseline questionnaire, participants will be randomly placed into one of two groups. Both groups will receive their normal care, but one group will also meet with a patient navigator. Participants in both groups will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire approximately 8 to 10 weeks from when they complete the baseline questionnaire. The follow-up questionnaire will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

Participation in the study will last about 10 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient Navigator (PN)

Patient Navigator (PN) Intervention Group. In addition to the Baseline Questionnaire and the Follow-up Questionnaire, PN intervention participants will complete a brief Patient Navigator Satisfaction Survey.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Patient Navigator (PN)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patient navigation (PN) is an intervention model designed to assist vulnerable patients in overcoming health system, personal and/or logistical barriers to care throughout the cancer care continuum. The strategic aims of PN are to reduce barriers and improve disease outcomes while also reducing distress and enhancing quality of life for the patient and family. Participants in the PN group will meet with a patient navigator.

Baseline Questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

Complete a baseline questionnaire online or by meeting with a member of the study team. This questionnaire has items asking about the participant's health, distress levels, satisfaction with their care at Moffitt Cancer Center, and what support services they have used since their diagnosis. This questionnaire will take about 15 to 20 minutes of their time.

Follow-up Questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

After participants complete the baseline questionnaire, they will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire approximately 6 weeks from when they completed the baseline questionnaire. The follow-up questionnaire will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

Patient Navigator Satisfaction Survey

Intervention Type OTHER

Evaluation of Patient Navigator intervention process.

Usual Care (UC)

Usual Care (UC) Control Group. Control sample of patients not receiving PN intervention will complete a Baseline Questionnaire and the six-week Follow-up Questionnaire. Participants under UC will have access to all services typically provided to Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) patients. Any baseline distress score greater than three will be reported to the patient's primary oncologist and clinic nurse.

Group Type OTHER

Baseline Questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

This questionnaire has items asking about the participant's health, distress levels, satisfaction with their care at Moffitt Cancer Center, and what support services they have used since their diagnosis. This questionnaire will take about 15 to 20 minutes of their time.

Follow-up Questionnaire

Intervention Type OTHER

After participants complete the baseline questionnaire, they will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire approximately 6 weeks from when they completed the baseline questionnaire. The follow-up questionnaire will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
