"Cancer CarePartners" was designed to address these needs by providing cancer-stricken Veterans and their informal caregivers with the information they need to make effective management decisions, decrease symptom burden, and improve outcomes. Cancer CarePartners is a Web-enabled program that alerts caregivers of patients' symptoms and provides them with a framework for identifying problems, receiving structured advice, formulating a 'task list,' and following up with their patients as they receive chemotherapy. Specifically, Cancer CarePartners includes weekly, automated telephonic symptom assessment (ATSA) with self-management (SM) support to the Veteran paired with Web-based alerts to the caregiver pointing them to a website where s/he can obtain customized advice. A randomized control trial was conducted to test the efficacy of this program in controlling symptoms as well as improving adherence to chemotherapy.
