NCT ID NCT05723250
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a tablet-based video program can help rural cancer patients better understand their care and feel more coordinated. About 40 adults with early-stage breast, lung, or colon cancer living in rural Vermont will be randomly assigned to receive the videos right away or after 4 months. Researchers will measure changes in cancer knowledge, self-advocacy, and care coordination.
