Development and validation of FinTox: A new screening tool to assess cancer-related financial toxicity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to develop and validate FinTox, a concise tool for screening and managing financial toxicity in oncology settings.

Methods

Development involved qualitative interviews with healthcare providers and patients, and feedback from a 7-member expert panel resulting in a 5-item measure that evaluates financial strain, psychological responses, and care modifications. Psychometric evaluations examined factor structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and concurrent and convergent validity. Associations between FinTox scores and sociodemographic/medical factors were also analyzed using univariate and multivariable regression models.
