Five Pilot Projects
The objectives
of iCCaRE
is to fight prostate cancer in the Black community all over the world
Pilot Project 3 - Whole Person Care Survivorship to Improve HRQOL in Black Prostate Cancer
Objective To develop an iCCaRE Prostate Cancer-Survivorship Care Plan (CaP-SCP) for Black men to address their unique burden and health related quality of life needs. The prostate cancer survivorship plan tool is aimed at improving health related quality of life in black Men post-treatment. The prostate cancer survivorship plan will be implemented using Virtual Robot Assistance (ViRA). We will conduct non-randomized, pilot to assess the benefit and adoption of the prostate cancer survivorship plan virtual robot assistance.
Specific Aims
The goal is to develop a Prostate cancer survivorship plan tailored to ethnically diverse Black men using clinicians’ key informant interviews and one-on-one in-depth interviews with prostate cancer black survivors.
Focus on developing a prototype of the Prostate cancer survivorship plan virtual robot assistance. Using Prostate cancer survivorship plan V5, DHHS team will develop the Prostate cancer survivorship plan virtual robot assistance. In addition, to assess the sensitivity and preliminary impact of the intervention, the virtual robot assistance will integrate quantitative clinical, patient-reported health related quality of life, social determinants of health, and population level data (e.g., American Community Survey).
HEROICA Phase 2 We will conduct pragmatic trial (effectiveness study), which will allow us to assess the benefit of the Prostate cancer survivorship plan virtual robot assistance under real life settings.
