Financial Hardship clinical trials at University of California Health
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
PediRISE Feasibility
open to eligible people ages up to 17 years
The goal of this research study is to learn whether investigators can successfully give the PediRISE program to families-in other words, whether most families are interested in participating in a study about the PediRISE program, including a 50-50 chance of receiving standard usual care, and a 50-50 chance of receiving the PediRISE support program. The names of the study groups in this research study are: - PediRISE Program Group - Usual Care Group

Financial and Social Needs Among Patients With Cancer
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
Financial hardship and health-related social needs (e.g., insecurity about food, housing, transportation, utilities) are common among patients with cancer, resulting in health disparities in cancer outcomes. Our study will test the efficacy of a multicomponent financial navigation and counseling program delivered by a financial navigator (CostCOM), vs. direct patient access to financial education materials and comprehensive list of local resources in the absence of a financial navigator (FinEd) vs. practice usual care among newly diagnosed cancer patients who screen positive for financial hardship and social needs. Investigators anticipate that both CostCOM and FinEd compared to enhanced usual care will improve cost-related cancer care nonadherence, financial worry, health insurance literacy, quality of life and sleep quality and decrease number of missed appointments.
