简要总结
This is a single center single-arm, pilot study of proactive and early connection with free legal care services for patient-caregiver dyads affected by colorectal cancer to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of this intervention in improving financial and psychosocial outcomes.
Participants (i.e. patient-caregiver dyads) will receive free, personalized legal care services from Cancer Legal Care (CLC), a nonprofit organization located in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. The duration of study participation is 3 months, however, participants may continue to access free personalized legal care services beyond this period.

结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility
时间窗: 3 months
Feasibility will be measured through rates of 1) initial engagement (i.e., percent of patients and caregivers who meet with a CLC representative), 2) continued engagement (i.e., percentage of patients and caregivers who respond to questionnaires at months 3), and 3) intervention completion (i.e., percentage of patients and caregivers who receive a legal service). The mean of the 3 metrics will be used to determine feasibility. The intervention will be deemed as feasible if ≥50% is met on each of the 3 feasibility metrics.
