No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Palliative care is a priority area of focus for health care in an aging population experiencing burdens of chronic illness. Despite the evidence-based benefits of palliative care, access remains limited, especially in poor urban and rural settings. Cultural and linguistic barriers may also increase disparities in palliative care for Latinos. Due to a nationwide shortage of palliative care providers and the unique cultural preferences and values of patients, the investigators are testing a patient navigator intervention to improve palliative care outcomes for Latinos with advanced cancer.
