GAP Trial Summary
This trial will test if providing coaching and health assessments to older adults with cancer can help them manage their health better.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults aged 65-90 who have had Stage II-III breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer. They should have finished their main treatment within the last year and live in the UC Davis Health area. Participants must understand English or Spanish and have a caregiver aged 21-90.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a health assessment program with coaching from community health workers (promotoras) to improve well-being in older cancer survivors. It aims to see if this approach is practical and beneficial for addressing additional health issues post-treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves assessments and coaching rather than medical treatments, there are no direct side effects like those seen with drugs or surgery. However, participants may experience emotional impacts from discussing their health.
