First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new web-based tool called CONNECT, designed to help caregivers of people with stage II to IV lung cancer find support resources. About 216 caregivers will use the tool and have sessions with a navigator to see if it helps them feel more supported. The goal is to improve caregivers' well-being and reduce stress.
