Summary
This clinical trial tests how well a web based toolkit works to improve cancer related emotional distress and anxiety in rural older cancer survivors. Rural older adults with cancer-related distress are particularly vulnerable to poorer mental health and cancer-related outcomes including increased difficulties identifying symptoms of anxiety, a reduced likelihood of knowing when to access mental health services, and a higher likelihood of having poorly managed CRD, even after receiving a psychosocial referral. The web based tool kit called CONNECT addresses digital literacy and supports for cancer-related distress management through interactive activities for setting up telehealth visits, accessing educational materials about cancer-related distress, and providing individualized mental health resource recommendations. Using CONNECT may improve cancer related emotional distress and anxiety in rural older cancer survivors.
