Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This project aims to elucidate the prevalence of financial toxicity, identify significant risk factors for toxicity, and understand the burdens of the specific St. Johnsbury rural population. These data will drive future, larger studies to investigate how to alleviate the burden of financial toxicity, especially in vulnerable patient populations.

- measure
- Financial toxicity
- timeFrame
- The time frame will once a week for 3-9 weeks, dependent on the treatment duration of the patient.
- description
- Both qualitative and quantitative surveys will be given to patients and will ask them for their financial information. These surveys will be given each week, on the day the physician sees the patient. The survey will ask for the following information to determine their direct costs of radiation treatment: employment, race, ethnicity, gender, income, insurance status, co-payments, wage-earner status, out-of-pocket costs for treatment, transportation to treatments, and drug costs. The survey will also ask questions to determine their indirect costs of radiation treatment: productivity days lost, disability days, if they have sold anything in the past week, if they have cut down on leisure activities, concern about paying for bills, ability to meet monthly expenses, and how much they deem their cancer treatment has impacted their satisfaction with financial status.
