Brief Summary

The goal of this screening study is to determine the feasibility of completing a social needs screening tool in participants who have a past or current cancer diagnosis and reside in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Main questions to answer are:

• Can we have a completion rate of at least 80% of participants filling out the screening tool?
• Can we determine procedures for patient referrals based on social needs
• Can we implement brief interventions based on food access and digital inclusion (ensuring everyone has access to the digital technologies they need to participate in society)

Detailed Description

In part 1 of the study, Participants will be administered a social screening tool either in person or via telephone. Responses to the screening tool will be translated into diagnosis codes which identify non-medical factors that may influence a patient's health status. In part 2 of the study, participants will be referred to community-based resources based on their responses to the social needs screening tool. Follow up will be made via telephone call at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks.
