Consented to Study
Participants in this study may provide consent in one of three ways. Consent to participate automatically includes authorization for chart review. The most comprehensive level of consent includes participation in both pre- and post-treatment surveys and receipt of navigation services as part of the study's support interventions. Another level includes consent for chart review and survey completion but a declination of navigation services. Lastly, some participants consent only to chart review and decline participation in the surveys, which automatically excludes them from receiving navigation services.
