Conditions
Summary
This clinical trial aims to develop and implement more navigation assistance programs tailored specifically for Native American cancer patients, addressing the current lack of available support. The goal is to improve communication barriers within the healthcare system by fostering a collaborative approach between the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) and tribally operated healthcare systems (ITU). Through this partnership, the trial seeks to enhance patient outcomes by providing culturally sensitive, coordinated care.

Interventions
Participants assigned to C3PO will receive usual navigation services with a Native American Navigator (NAN) at the SCC but will begin having their clinical care and social needs discussed during monthly collaborative care meetings. For the Open Pilot, this will include all participants (no randomization or usual care group). The collaborative care coordinator will meet with the participant virtually or in-person before and after collaborative care meetings as they are available and as needs arise.
