First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program that screens cancer patients for emotional distress and refers them to mental health services if needed. It involves 50 English- or Spanish-speaking adults with new solid tumor cancers at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. The goal is to see if such a program can work in busy safety net hospitals that serve diverse, underserved communities.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help more cancer patients get the mental health support they need, especially those from underserved communities.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all cancer patients. It focuses on feasibility, not on proving that the program improves health outcomes.
