Lay Summary

This research is a seminal investigation of the perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well-being of cancer patients living in rural and tribal communities in Washington State. The research team will conduct a cross-sectional study to examine the impacts of COVID-19 on selected measures of health, healthcare, personal, socio-cultural, and economic outcomes among cancer patients from 15 clinics serving these constituencies. The study, conducted by the Northwest Health Education Research Outcomes Network (known as NW HERON), an interdisciplinary practice-based research network at Washington State University, will capitalize on an existing network of healthcare facilities affiliated with the Elson S. Floyd School of Medicine.
