DAVENPORT, IOWA (July 20, 2023) — Gilda's Club Quad Cities in collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), invites you to participate in a research study that may help you and others. The study is called: "Cancer and Aging Reflections for Elders (CARE): A Geriatric-Specific Psychotherapy for Older Adults with Cancer.” CARE is a five-year project with the aim to test a new psychotherapy intervention (CARE) for treating depression and distress in older cancer patients. The effects of CARE will be compared with those of a standard psychotherapy intervention, Social Work, and Supportive Counseling (SWSC).
CARE is a research study that can help give emotional support to cancer patients who are seventy and older. Individuals approved to participate in the study will have an opportunity to get connected to an interventionist in Iowa or Illinois to receive telehealth counseling over the telephone. Compensation includes up to $80 for full study completion.
