Talking about health values with Spanish or English-speaking patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests an approach for discussing and sharing what patients value about their health, and adapting it for Latinx communities. It involves separate interviews with patients, families/caregivers, and oncology clinicians to improve how the intervention works and is understood.
