International Study to Evaluate a Navigation Program for Older People With Cancer and Their Family Caregivers (EU NAVIGATE Study)

NavCare-EU is a person- and family-centered intervention in which navigators collaborate with older persons and their close family caregivers across the continuum of supportive, palliative, and end-of-life care,. NavCare-EU is based on the existing and successfully tested Nav-CARE intervention from Canada. Navigators focus on connecting clients to social supports, both formal and informal, advocating for clients in meeting their quality-of-life goals, resourcing by identifying needs and negotiating access to meeting those needs, and engaging clients in what is most meaningful to them. Navigators are selected, trained, and mentored volunteers or professionals. NavCare-EU is based on the existing and successfully tested Nav-CARE(c) intervention from Canada.
