CCS Transitions to Adult Care
Novel Linkages and Navigation to Improve Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivors' Care Transitions: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Across Three Health Care Systems
In response to RFA-CA-24-027: Addressing Barriers to Healthcare Transitions for Survivors of Childhood and Adolescent Cancers, this study targets barriers at multiple levels and stages in care transition. The study will use a pilot randomized controlled trial testing an interventiont to improve transitions to adult survivorship care among active childhood cancer survivors (CCS) who are newly adults.
Aim: Develop and test a multilevel intervention to improve rates of follow-up visit completion among CCS transitioning from pediatric survivorship care to one of three adult onco-primary care clinics.
Hypothesis: Adult CCS receiving nurse navigation, education, and electronic referral will be more likely to complete follow-up visits at an adult onco-primary care clinic than those on standard referral pathways (electronic referral only).

Experimentální: Enhanced Referral Pathway (ERP)
Participants randomized to the ERP arm will receive the SRP, tailored patient education, and patient navigation mapped to the four components of patient navigation |
A nurse navigator trained in patient navigation and motivational interviewing will contact CCS (childhood cancer survivor) randomized to the ERP arm and provide a brief introduction to the importance of survivorship care and schedule the patient for an appointment at an adult onco-primary care clinic. The nurse navigator will also schedule at an initial one-hour telehealth visit with the CCS for ~1 month after their last Pediatric ACE visit. During the initial telehealth visit, the navigator will provide tailored patient education and individualized navigation based on the baseline survey results for each adult CCS. The navigator will assess additional educational needs or barriers to determine whether additional visits are needed. Every CCS in the ERP arm will have at least one telehealth visit, but may have as many as five, as needed. |
|
Žádný zásah: Standard Referral Pathway (SRP)
For the SRP, clinicians will send an electronic Care Everywhere referral to the adult onco-primary care program, via the ACE coordinator, an existing clinical staff member in onco-primary care. The coordinator will attempt to contact the adult participant 3 times by telephone or MyChart, which includes text messages. Once contact is made, the ACE coordinator will assess current insurance status and schedule a visit in one of the three onco-primary care clinics depending on patient preference, location, and insurance type |

Change in transition readiness
Časové okno: Assessed at baseline, after navigation appointment, and annually until study end
|
Change in score on the the Transition Readiness Assessment for Youth scale. The scale includes twenty readiness items rated as No (0), I want to learn (1), or Yes (2). The items will be summed and the outcome will be analyzed as a scale variable ranging from 0 (lowest readiness) to 40 (highest readiness) |
Assessed at baseline, after navigation appointment, and annually until study end

Change in health care self-efficacy
Časové okno: Assessed at baseline, after navigation appointment, and annually until study end
|
Assessed via the Healthcare Self-Efficacy Scale (3-item instrument). The items are rated on a 3-point Likert-type scale: (1) not confident, (2) confident, (3) very confident. The items will be averaged and the outcome will be anaylzed as scale variable ranging from 1 (least confident) to 3 (most confident). |

Proportion of participants with who attended a primary care visit
Časové okno: Assessed at baseline, after navigation appointment, and annually until study end
|
The proportion of participants who complete a qualifying primary care visit, defined as: a visit with any primary care or a visit to an onco-primary care clinic. Self-reported by participants and assessed through onco-primary care clinic scheduling data. The outcome will be analyzed as a binary proportion (attended primary care vs. did not attend primary care). |
