Abstract PO-032: Cancer Supportive Care Needs and Resource Use among Asian American Cancer Patients: Preliminary Findings from a Pilot Patient Navigation Intervention, “patient COUNTS”
CANCER EPIDEMIOLOGY BIOMARKERS & PREVENTION（2022）
Abstract
Abstract Background: Cancer is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans. Patient navigation has shown benefits in enhancing cancer treatment outcomes and quality of life. Navigational needs in accessing cancer supportive care among Asian American cancer patients and how to address such needs, however, remain understudied. Asian Americans face unique language and cultural barriers in cancer care. We designed a culturally and linguistically-tailored pilot patient navigation intervention, Patient COUNTS, to better understand and address the needs of Asian American cancer patients. Objective: To examine cancer supportive care needs and resource use among patients, who participated in a pilot study that aimed to provide culturally and linguistically-tailored navigation for Asian American cancer patients. Methods: We recruited Asian American adults diagnosed with stage I-III colorectal, liver, or lung cancer from the Greater Bay Area Cancer Registry and San Francisco hospitals. Participants spoke English, Chinese, or Vietnamese and had not completed treatment. Participants were assigned a language-concordant patient navigator, who provided support for six months. This study describes participants' cancer supportive care needs and resource use from telephone and self-administered surveys collected at baseline, three, and six months. Participants included 24 Asian Americans with cancer who completed the baseline survey, with 18 (75%) who completed at least one of the follow-up surveys. Results: Of the study sample (n=24), 63% were men, 55% were 65 years or older, and 42% did not complete high school. A majority (75%) spoke limited English; participants' preferred language included Cantonese/Mandarin (61%), Vietnamese (26%) and English (13%). Most participants had stage I (54%) or III (42%) cancer of the lung (42%), colon (37%), or liver (21%). Across the three surveys, the most frequently reported types of needs by the 24 participants were: cancer information (83%), language translation (54%), basic resources such as financial, transportation, legal, housing, and food access resources (50%), access to healthcare (42%), and mental health (33%). Among the 18 participants who completed the three- or six-month surveys, 90% reported using one or more resources that navigators directed them to. Specifically, of the 18 patients, the most frequently used resources included healthcare (77%), basic needs (67%), language translation (56%), and mental health (28%). Conclusions: The Asian American cancer patients enrolled in Patient COUNTS, a pilot patient navigation program, had a variety of cancer supportive care needs. Findings provided preliminary support of Patient COUNTS as a promising approach to assess cancer supportive care needs and assist navigation of resources among Asian American cancer patients. These findings will inform future interventions to improve the care that Asian American cancer patients receive.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
