Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity in Rural North Carolina Oncology Care Settings
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Financial Navigation for Neoplasms and Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 258 participants across 8 sites.
Detailed Summary
The financial burden, or financial toxicity (FT), of cancer is a consequential and growing problem, particularly for rural patients. It is important to improve our understanding of how financial navigation (FN) can reduce the material, psychological, and behavioral burden of costs associated with cancer care in both rural and non-rural community settings. The purpose of this study is to conduct a financial navigation program in 5 rural and 4 non-rural oncology practices in North Carolina and evaluate the effects of financial navigation on patient outcomes, including financial toxicity and health-related quality of life.
