Video Intervention

Experimental group

Description:

The intervention in this study is a TED-talk style video series designed to provide patient education on cancer, care coordination, and self-advocacy. The content is designed to provide both a background about cancer disease and to address each of the specific domains in care coordination (CCI). The development of video contents was informed by our prior/current research in rural care coordination and components of evidence-based interventions including the patient navigator training by the George Washington University Cancer Institute, Imi Hale (the Native Hawaiian Cancer Network), and a supportive care intervention by Mokuau et al. As the target population of this intervention is rural patients, videos include some rural-specific considerations related to care coordination.
