Feb. 24 — Assistant professor coauthors study in national cancer journal
Alex Fauer, an assistant professor at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis, coauthored the study, “Acceptability of a practical geriatric assessment intervention with older adult cancer survivors and community health workers/promotoras: a qualitative investigation,” published in Supportive Care in Cancer. The team refined and validated a protocol aimed to reduce the burden of cancer for older adults after they are diagnosed and treated, partnered with community health workers and cancer survivor consultants. Before new treatments and interventions are developed, exploratory and qualitative research help to understand what isn’t working so that the solutions built later are grounded in real needs. This matters because for many cancer survivors, health care systems are fragmented to identify and address long-term health care needs. His coauthors include PhD alumnae Sandra Calderon and Angela Usher, K12 mentors Diana Miglioretti and Fred Meyers, Quynh Vo of the Family Caregiving Institute, Chad Han from Flinders University and Vision y Compromiso’s Miriam Hernandez, a community partner.
