Summary

Investigate supportive care needs, levels of distress and social support in adults who are receiving active cancer treatment, or within six months of completing treatment. More specifically, assess patterns and predictors of needs such as ethnicity, personality type and cancer type. Additionally explore barriers and facilitators through interviews with patients and health care providers.
