Financial Toxicity in Cancer Patients

This study will seek to generate the early data needed to understand the relationship between constructs and measures of patients' coping resources and psychological response and measures of patients' financial toxicity. To collect this early descriptive data, the overall goal of this study is to identify social, behavioral, and knowledge factors associated with financial toxicity outcomes. Identifying these factors will ultimately help elucidate targets for behavioral, psychosocial, and/or educational and coaching interventions.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. Examine the associations between measures of self-efficacy, quality of social support, and financial literacy with the outcome measure of financial toxicity. 2. Identify the feasibility of collecting these measures in a Spanish-speaking cancer patient population. 3. Describe the relationship between financial toxicity and clinical outcomes (survival and disease status). This is an exploratory aim. 4. a) Describe the correlation between measures of self-efficacy, quality of social support, financial literacy and clinical and demographic patient characteristics with outcome measure of financial toxicity, by tumor type and age subgroups. b) Describe response rate to the financial toxicity measure (\>50% completed items on the survey instrument), by tumor type and age subgroups. This is an exploratory aim. OUTLINE: Participants will complete a survey packet that is estimated to take about 30 minutes. The survey packet will be collected at baseline and at 6 months.
