What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Health Insurance Navigation Tools Program for childhood cancer survivors?
How is the Virtual Health Insurance Navigation Tools Program different from other treatments for childhood cancer survivors?
The Virtual Health Insurance Navigation Tools Program is unique because it focuses on helping childhood cancer survivors navigate health insurance options, rather than providing direct medical treatment. This program is designed to address the specific challenges survivors face in accessing and managing their health insurance, which is not typically covered by standard medical treatments.678910
What is the purpose of this trial?
The investigators are conducting a Type I hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial to assess the effectiveness of HINT-S (synchronous) compared to enhanced usual care (EUC) in promoting health insurance literacy, thus reducing worry, unmet health care needs, and financial consequences due to medical costs to improve care and long-term outcomes of childhood cancer survivors. The investigators will also compare HINT-S to HINT-A (asynchronous), a prerecorded, asynchronous version of the 5 HINT-S navigator sessions.
