H.U.B City Steps: Early Findings From a Community-Based Participatory Effectiveness Trial to Reduce Blood Pressure Among African Americans

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Cancer patients, survivors, and their families have significant needs for 1) information about diagnosis and treatment, 2) help with symptom management, 3) communication and coordination of care, and 4) prevention and surveillance of further problems.Provision of cancer-related information helps patients and their families to accept their diagnosis, improve symptom management and treatment compliance, and reduce anxiety and uncertainty, thus increasing overall quality of life.Our research team has designed a web portal to serve as the application architecture for online access to evidencebased cancer information and interactive interventions.In this seminar, we will share the results of our research and discuss implications for practice.
