Financial Compass: A Pilot Feasibility Study of a Novel Intervention to Identify and Address Financial Hardship Among Cancer Patients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This clinical trial compares the effect a financial intervention, called Financial Compass, to usual care in identifying and addressing financial hardship in patients with head and neck cancer. Previous research has shown that head and neck cancer patients experiencing financial hardship have decreased overall and cancer specific survival. Using a financial intervention, Financial Compass, may be more effective than usual care in identifying and addressing financial hardship in patients with head and neck cancer.
