Multi-Site Community Oncology Planning for the CONNECT Intervention Targeting Lung Cancer Caregivers (CONNECT)

Official Title

Multi-Site Community Oncology Planning for the CONNECT Intervention Targeting Lung Cancer Caregivers (CONNECT)

Purpose

Clinical trial that tests the feasibility of a web based caregiver support resource, along with caregiver navigation sessions for caregivers of patients with stage II-IV lung cancer. The Caregiver Oncology Needs Evaluation Tool (CONNECT) is a novel web-based intervention designed for the community oncology setting, to systematically connect lung cancer caregivers with tailored supportive care resources. Lung cancer caregivers provide critical and challenging care for their loved ones and are at risk for their own negative psychosocial and physical outcomes. Implementing the CONNECT program along with caregiver navigation may provide additional support to caregivers of patients with stage II-IV lung cancer.
