Northern Alberta Psychosocial Telecare (NAPT) Screening for HNC Patients

Cancer Distress

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing a web-based psychosocial screening application to usual care in a cohort of surgically-treated head and neck cancer patients to determine its efficacy in monitoring depression and distress, and prompting necessary psychiatry/psychology referrals. In addition, treatment adherence, rehabilitation and return to work, primary care utilization, and survival will be monitored.
