Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This observational study aims to identify the factors that influence whether cancer patients accept or decline supportive care services after screening positive for health-related social needs (HRSNs) at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study focuses on adult oncology patients who previously reported at least one HRSN-such as transportation, food, housing, or utility needs-but declined assistance when it was offered. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What factors shape cancer patients' intentions to use supportive care services for HRSNs? * Why do patients who screen positive for HRSNs choose not to accept help offered by the healthcare system? Participants will: * Complete a one-time electronic survey delivered via MyChart or email. * Optionally participate in a semi-structured Zoom interview (for a subset of 20-30 survey respondents) to explore decision-making in greater depth.

- Cancer Patients Screened for Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs)
- description
- This group includes adult cancer patients receiving care at Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) who previously completed a Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs) screening in the electronic health record. This will be achieved by providing patients with a one-time survey. The surveys will be distributed via MyChart messages and emails. Additionally, 20 patients who complete the survey will be asked to complete a short interview to further understand why cancer patients identified as high-risk for HRSNs decline connections to care and intervention-ultimately to gain an understanding into the factors that they take into account when determining whether they want to be connected to a resource or service connection related to HRSNs.
