Arms

  • Experimental: Stepped collaborative care intervention
    The 'Stepped Collaborative Care Intervention' includes at least biweekly contact from a care coordinator by phone and face to face visits occurring approximately every 2 months, and 24 hour 7 day a week access to a website that was specifically designed during the pilot study for advanced cancer patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
  • Active Comparator: Enhanced Usual Care
    Patients randomized to the 'Enhanced Usual Care' arm receive their usual care from their medical team. However, if the patient scores in the clinical range on one or more of the three symptoms s/he will receive education about the symptom and be referred to the appropriate health care provider for further treatment in their community. The care coordinator will follow up with the patient after 3 weeks to assess barriers to treatment and assist further with accessing treatment if needed.
