Conditions
Summary
It is recommended that cancer centers screen patients for distress and refer them to mental health services when their distress levels reach a certain level. However, many cancer centers don't have distress screening and referral programs. This study will provide valuable information about one distress screening and referral program and whether it can be helpful for a large and diverse group of cancer patients that includes both English- and Spanish-speaking patients.
