Care Coordination is an essential component of cancer care delivery. Many patients experience poor care coordination. In this study, we hypothesize that provision of a video educational intervention to teach patients about cancer, care coordination and self-advocacy will improve patients' perception of care coordination. Cancer patients with early stage disease scheduled to receive adjuvant therapy, and who reside in a rural area, will be enrolled onto the study. Patients will be randomized to receive a table-based educational intervention tool initially (arm1) or after 4 months of therapy (arm2). Assessment of cancer knowledge, self-advocacy and care coordination will be obtained at baseline and after 4-6 months.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will receive a video-based intervention after completing baseline survey instruments and prior to retesting after 4-6 months.
Other: Table-based Educational Intervention
Participants will complete baseline survey instruments and again complete surveys after 4-6 months. They will then receive the video-based educational tablet.
Other: Table-based Educational Intervention
Tablet based educational tool with videos about care coordination, cancer knowledge and self-advocacy.

Care Coordination Instrument Score
Participants complete the Care Coordination Instrument (CCI), a 29-item questionnaire. Each item is rated on a Likert scale (Strongly Agree = 3 to Strongly Disagree = 0). A total score is generated by summing the item scores; possible total scores range from 0-87. Higher scores represent a greater perception of care coordination.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 months
Cancer Knowledge
Participants complete the Cancer Knowledge Assessment Test (C-KAT). The test includes 5 multiple choice items. A total score is generated by summing the number of correct responses; total scores range from 0-5. Higher scores represent greater cancer knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 months
Satisfaction with Educational Videos
Participants in the baseline intervention group complete the Satisfaction and Acceptability Questionnaire. This 5-item questionnaire assesses how helpful and easily accessible the educational videos were. There is also an open-ended question for other feedback. Answering yes to the items indicates greater satisfaction and ease of use.
Time frame: 4 months
Self-Advocacy Score
Participants complete the Cancer Self-Advocacy Scale, a 20-item questionnaire. Each item is rated on a Likert scale (Strongly Agree = 6 to Strongly Disagree = 1). A total score is generated by summing the item scores; possible total scores range from 20-120. Higher scores represent greater self-advocacy skills.
Time frame: Baseline and 4 months
