Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

By teaching skills to improve the coordination of care and support in couples coping with head and neck cancer (HNC), this couple-based psychosocial intervention holds great promise for improving self-management, reducing costly hospitalizations and treatment interruptions, and improving both partners' quality of life. Home-based delivery will enhance future dissemination and outreach to those who do not have access to psychosocial services or live far away from their care centers. If found effective, the intervention may also have salutary downstream effects on the health and well-being of HNC patients and their partners.
