Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This project will develop and pilot test social support intervention for an underserved population, Hispanics in Arizona, who have high rates of kidney and liver cancer to improve health equity. The investigators will incorporate caregivers (family members) and other individuals in a patient's social network in survivorship, who are especially critical to quality cancer care. Caregivers provide more than half the care to cancer survivors and are often instrumental in facilitating the survivor to receive the care needed and adhere to guidelines. Through this project, the investigators will be able to leverage the resources of the Cancer Heath Equity Research Center (e.g., community outreach) to develop an intervention that has the potential for scalability and reach and recruit a sufficient sample across the target catchment area (including rural participants who may live near the US-Mexico border).
