Funded Activity Summary

Lung cancer patients have particular need for information and support but do not initiate contact with community-based services such as the Cancer Helpline. This study will use a proactive approach to engage this group with the Helpline. It will also test electronic and telephone-based approaches to providing information and support to this very vulnerable group.
