Summary

The goal of this research study is to find out if a decision aid (DA) created by investigators, I Can PIC, is effective in helping cancer patients make decisions about their health insurance. The investigators will evaluate I Can PIC compared to an attention control condition (existing website created by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network). The study hypothesis is that those randomly assigned to I Can PIC will have higher knowledge about health insurance terms and details, more certainty about the best health insurance plan for them, and more confidence in their health insurance decisions compared to those randomly assigned to the control condition.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

I Can PIC

Participants will be shown (on a computer or via email link) a website called I Can PIC. I Can PIC provides health insurance education, suggests ways to learn about the costs of cancer care and follow-up, shows resources to help offset the high costs of care, and helps individuals estimate (based on national data) how much they might spend on health insurance in the upcoming year.
