After being informed about the details of the study, including risks and potential benefits, participants who give their informed consent will do baseline measurements. After these measures are collected, participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the computer tablet Nurse AMIE program or a supportive care book. Participants will be asked to complete measurements throughout the course of their active participation, which will last for 2 years.
Nurse AMIE 3.0 is testing the effectiveness of an electronic symptom management system on overall survival in people with stage 3 and 4 cancer who live in rural areas.
