RECRUITING

Understanding the Preferences and Views of Older Adults on the Use of Geriatric and Objective Functional Assessments for Cancer Treatment Planning.

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This Interventional clinical study aims to explore how receiving information about their health and physical abilities affects the treatment decisions of older adults. The study will look at whether sharing detailed assessments of their health and functional status helps older adults better understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care. The main question it aims to answer is if providing this information changes the treatment priorities of older adults, helping them focus on what matters most to them in their medical care.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:65 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Age ≥ 65
  2. * Started a new qualifying index regimen within the last 30 days (inclusive)
  3. * Are being considered for a new qualifying index regimen
  1. * Patients will be excluded if they
  2. * Do not have the capacity to consent to study procedures
  3. * Are unable to complete English language questionnaires
  4. * Are already using an activity tracker on a daily basis (and therefore may be aware of their current level of activity)
  5. * Are enrolled in another study in which physical activity is a substantial part or all of the therapeutic intervention or where physical activity is specifically being evaluated and shared with patients.
