From Screening to Support: A Multi-Method Analysis of HRSN Integration in Cancer Care (NCT07352579)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This observational study aims to identify the factors that influence whether cancer patients accept or decline supportive care services after screening positive for health-related social needs (HRSNs) at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study focuses on adult oncology patients who previously reported at least one HRSN-such as transportation, food, housing, or utility needs-but declined assistance when it was offered. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What factors shape cancer patients' intentions to use supportive care services for HRSNs? * Why do patients who screen positive for HRSNs choose not to accept help offered by the healthcare system? Participants will: * Complete a one-time electronic survey delivered via MyChart or email. * Optionally participate in a semi-structured Zoom interview (for a subset of 20-30 survey respondents) to explore decision-making in greater depth.
