This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a digital platform called CONNECT that's designed to help older cancer survivors who live in rural areas manage emotional distress and anxiety after finishing their cancer treatment. The toolkit includes educational materials about managing cancer-related stress, guides to using telehealth services, and personalized resource recommendations. Researchers want to see if CONNECT can reduce distress better than simply sending educational brochures.
Many cancer survivors continue to experience emotional distress and anxiety long after treatment ends, but people in rural areas often have fewer mental health resources and support services available to them. This trial addresses that gap by creating an online tool that's easier for rural, older adults to access from home.

If you're in the main study group, you'll meet with a research assistant who will show you how to use the CONNECT platform, then you'll have brief phone check-in calls every two weeks for about 2 months to discuss the toolkit's features and get support using it. You'll also receive text message reminders every two weeks to encourage you to use the platform. Throughout the 12-month study, you'll complete surveys about your emotional distress, healthcare use, and unmet needs. Your caregiver will also be involved and receive access to the toolkit.
