A health navigator intervention to identify and respond to the health-related social needs of an australian population living with cancer: A mixed-methods feasibility study

People living with cancer often require intensive support throughout their cancer journey. While cancer coordination services provide support accessing cancer care and understanding treatment options, many patients experience considerable health-related social needs (e.g. unemployment, financial insecurity) that impact their health and wellbeing. Health Navigator interventions address patients’ health-related social needs through ongoing support to access relevant support organisations in the community. This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a Health Navigator intervention to address the health-related social needs of a population living with cancer attending an outpatient oncology clinic in Australia.
