Brief Summary

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

The goal of this trial is to compare the impact of two outreach strategies (high touch vs. standard outreach) on a collaborative care program delivered via telehealth to patients with lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

The goal of this project is to pilot test the effectiveness of using a more-intensive (high touch) outreach strategy to increase the reach of an adapted, standard of care CoCM for patients with lung cancer who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety. The investigators will specifically test the effect of two outreach strategies (high touch vs. standard outreach) on reach of the CoCM program (primary outcome) and on several secondary implementation and effectiveness outcomes. Given the demonstrated efficacy of the CoCM in patients with cancer, the main target of this research study is the impact of the outreach strategies and delivery of the CoCM via telehealth.

Study Groups

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

High Touch Outreach

Patients in the high touch outreach arm will receive a gain-framed message via text (preferred modality), MyPennMedicine message, email, and/or postal mail that links to the digital screener; an informational flyer about collaborative care sent via postal mail, the MyPennMedicine portal, email, and/or text; and a direct request from their oncology provider to collaborative care for those patients who have not responded to outreach efforts by their next oncology visit post-referral.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High Touch Outreach

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Gain-framed message, informational flyer, and direct request

Standard Outreach

Patients in the standard outreach arm will receive a standard message sent via text (preferred modality), MyPennMedicine message, email, and/or postal mail that links to the digital screener; this message is one that is similar to that already used in Penn Integrated Care's practice.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
