Summary

To test the efficacy of a web-based stepped collaborative care intervention to reduce symptoms of depression, pain, and fatigue and improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) in advanced cancer patients and to reduce stress and depression, and fewer CVD risk factors in caregivers.

Detailed description

The intervention is designed to maintain quality of life for those in greatest need and least access to resources. This innovative and scalable web-based collaborative care intervention is expected not only to improve patients' quality of life, at the end of life, but also reduce caregiver stress and depression, and potentially health morbidity and mortality of patients and spousal and intimate partner caregivers from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.
