Benefits of Early Versus Delayed Palliative Care to Informal Family Caregivers of Patients With Advanced Cancer: Outcomes From the ENABLE III Randomized Controlled Trial

View Resource

Examines the effects of introducing early palliative care intervention in rural settings for family caregivers (CGs) of patients with advanced-stage cancer by comparing the ENABLE (Educate, Nurture, Advise Before Life Ends) model of early palliative care with the customary cancer care. Addresses the CGs needs and how meeting these needs would support problem solving, decision making, and advance care planning.
