Testing the effects of the Strong Together self-advocacy serious game among women with advanced cancer: Protocol for the STRONG randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women with advanced cancer experience significant barriers to achieving high-quality care and maximizing their physical and emotional health. Our novel serious game, Strong Together, aims to teach women with advanced cancer self-advocacy skills needed to improve their symptom burden, quality of life, and patient-centered care.

Methods

This is a single-center, multi-site randomized clinical trial of the Strong Together intervention among 336 women within three months of an advanced breast or gynecologic cancer diagnosis. Randomization occurs to the 3-month Strong Together serious game or enhanced care as usual group. The aims are to: (1) evaluate the effects of the intervention on patient self-advocacy (primary outcome); (2) evaluate the effects of the intervention
