Financial Toxicity in Cancer Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will seek to generate the early data needed to understand the relationship between constructs and measures of patients' coping resources and psychological response and measures of patients' financial toxicity. To collect this early descriptive data, the overall goal of this study is to identify social, behavioral, and knowledge factors associated with financial toxicity outcomes. Identifying these factors will ultimately help elucidate targets for behavioral, psychosocial, and/or educational and coaching interventions.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
-
Examine the associations between measures of self-efficacy, quality of social support, and financial literacy with the outcome measure of financial toxicity.
-
Identify the feasibility of collecting these measures in a Spanish-speaking cancer patient population.
OUTLINE:
Participants will complete a survey packet that is estimated to take about 30 minutes. The survey packet will be collected at baseline and at 6 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Financial toxicity score [At 6 months]
Will be measured using the ENRICh instrument. Will conduct descriptive and univariate/multivariate analyses on this association of primary interest, including Chi-square test, t-test (or non-parametric test as appropriate). Other univariate associations between financial toxicity and other covariates obtained from survey measures, considered descriptive, will be performed. will test the primary association between the Hope State measure and financial toxicity using multivariate generalized linear mixed models, accounting for longitudinal changes in outcome scores over time, as well as adjusting for covariates and potential time interactions. The mixed effects structure will also be used, via a random intercept term, to account for site-to-site differences (e.g. clustering). Standard model selection procedures (forward, backward, or stepwise selection or shrinkage penalty) will be applied to determine the final multivariate model.
