With Love: Using Promotoras for a Hispanic Community Palliative Care Intervention - A Pilot Study (Promotora Palliative)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention (Promotora) for Palliative Care. Completed, enrolled 102 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Despite being strongly recommended, the integration of palliative care in oncology has not been widely adopted. Very few people have access to comprehensive palliative care. Access is even lower in rural and Hispanic communities. Even in communities with access, uptake is often low due to a lack of education on the part of both patients and providers regarding palliative care. This study aims to use an innovative approach to provide quality palliative care to oncology Hispanic patients by using community health workers also known as promotoras.
