Brief Summary

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

This randomized clinical trial will assess whether a psychoeducational intervention will improve palliative care knowledge and attitudes among close friends and family members of individuals with cancer. The psychoeducational intervention entails viewing a video introducing palliative care and its purpose, structure, benefits, and efficacy.

Detailed Description

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

The primary aims of this randomized clinical trial are to examine the impact of a psychoeducational intervention on (1) palliative care knowledge, and (2) palliative care attitudes among close friends and family members of individuals with cancer. Participants will complete a baseline survey including measures of palliative care knowledge and experience. Participants will be randomized to then view either a psychoeducational video introducing palliative care (intervention) or an educational video on nutrition throughout cancer survivorship (attention control). All participants will then complete outcome measures, including primary outcomes of palliative care knowledge and attitudes.
