Feasibility of Patient-Centered Home Care (PCHC) to Reduce Disparities in High-Risk Black Men (BM) With Prostate Cancer (CaP)
Conditions
Prostate AdenocarcinomaSummary
This study evaluates the possibility of patient-centered home care as a new model of cancer care to reduce disparities and improve health related quality of life and patient-reported outcomes in Black patients with prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate a highly innovative project evaluating the feasibility of patient-centered home care PCHC as a new model of cancer care to reduce disparities and improve health related QoL (HRQoL) and patient reported-outcomes (PROs) in Black patients with advanced prostate cancer (CaP). (Phase I) II. Establish patient-centeredness by exploring patients’ choice relative to the place of CaP treatment for certain aspects of therapy as well as end-of-life care.
III. Establish the acceptance and impact of PCHC on PROs and HRQoL in BM with advanced CaP.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.
GROUP 1: Participants take part in a focus group or complete questionnaires and may take part in an interview on study.
GROUP 2: Participants complete questionnaires throughout the study.
