This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new support program for people who have just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Half of the participants will work with a community health worker who helps them manage symptoms, connect with palliative care (comfort-focused care), and navigate their cancer treatment. The other half will receive the usual care that the hospital normally provides, including referrals to specialists and educational materials.
Newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients often face a rush of medical appointments and decisions in those first two weeks after diagnosis, which can be overwhelming. This study is testing whether having a dedicated community health worker guide patients through this process early on can make care easier and connect them to supportive services more quickly.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the new support program or usual care. If assigned to the support program, you will have visits with a community health worker who helps with care planning, symptom monitoring, and connecting you to palliative care services. You will also be able to communicate with the health worker digitally between visits. Both groups will complete interviews at the beginning and end of the study to share your experiences.
