Conditions
Brief summary
This study tests four different methods of educating patients about follow-up care (NCI facing forward, brochure, EXCELS website alone, EXCELS health coaching alone and EXCELS website & health coaching combination) after cancer treatment ends. While it is known that patients need information to guide follow-up it remains unknown how to best provide this in primary care.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Develop the EXCELS intervention to facilitate engaged self-management of cancer follow-up for cancer survivors. II. Evaluate the efficacy of EXCELS intervention in a small randomized controlled trial. III. Assess/refine intervention usability and acceptability for primary care patients. OUTLINE: PHASE I: EXCELS intervention is developed and assessed. PHASE II: Participants are randomized into 1 of 4 arms. ARM I: Participants receive National Cancer Institute's Facing Forward brochure. ARM II: Participants have untimed access to the EXCELS mobile web application. ARM III: Participants also receive 4 calls of 15-20 minutes each over 3 months focusing on assisting survivors with addressing challenges to receiving preventive service and health care. ARM IV: Participants have access to EXCELS website as in Arm II. Participants also receive 4 health coaching calls as in Arm III. Patients are followed up at 6 months, 12 months and 18 months post randomization.
