Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity in Rural Oncology Care Settings

The purpose of this study is to learn how having specific help over a period of time (financial navigation) can help reduce your distress related to the cost of cancer. You will complete a survey to see if you have financial distress. If you have financial distress, you will then fill out a few more surveys and be asked more details about your current financial situation to determine what programs could be helpful for you. The surveys can be completed in person, by email, or over the phone. The navigator can help you complete the surveys if needed. After that, depending on your needs, you will have 1-6 appointments with the financial navigator over a period of 2 weeks -4 months. Risks to you are small due to the educational nature of this study. They may include mild emotional distress while talking about your cancer and financial experiences. Benefits
