ConnectedNest: a digital platform connecting individuals with cancer to social care

Social determinants of health (SDoH) like housing instability, food insecurity, and financial burden, for example, can negatively affect people dealing with cancer. With new cancer treatments and higher costs for patients, people dealing with cancer may worry more about those issues. The goal of this study is to compare the ways people with cancer are connected to resources addressing specific needs and how those connections help their overall well-being. The research study will take about five months and participants will spend around one hour on research activities (each survey would take less than 15 minutes). The time you spend following up on helpful resources is completely up to participants.
