Summary

This study tests a new program called Open Door for Cancer (OD-C) designed to help older adults (65+) who have been diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer and are feeling depressed. The program aims to make it easier for them to start mental health care. Researchers will compare the OD-C approach to the usual way of connecting patients to mental health services to see if it is practical and helpful.
