Developed by Cella et al. the FACT-G is a well validated and widely used multi-dimensional health related quality of life measure for cancer patients. It consists of 28 self-assessment items on a 5 point Likert scale that address four domains:\n\nphysical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being. Scores are calculated for each sub-scale per FACT scoring instructions and summed for a total score ranging between 0 and 108 with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life.'}], 'secondaryOutcomes': [{'measure': 'Change in mood assessment', 'timeFrame': 'From baseline to 12 weeks', 'description': 'The Hospital Anxiety Depression Survey will be utilized to assess patient mood on this study. It is a validated, 14 item self-assessment tool used to assess severity of anxiety and depression symptoms in patients. Two 7 item subscales assess anxiety and depression in the past one week. Item responses are integer values between 0-3 and values for each subscale are added to give a subscale score. Scores on each subscale can range from 0 to 21 and a score greater than 11 is considered consistent with anxiety or depression. Scores of 7 or less are considered normal and scores of 8 to 10 are borderline. A score of 8 or greater on the anxiety subscale has a sensitivity of 0.9 and specificity of 0.78 for anxiety. Similarly, a score of 8 or greater on the depression subscale has a sensitivity of 0.83 and specificity of 0.79 for depression.'}, {'measure': 'Patient weight assessment', 'timeFrame': 'From baseline to 12 weeks', 'description': 'Weight is measured at each physician visit per hospital policy.

It is an 11 item assessment with 5 point Likert scale responses developed by de Souza et al reference to assess the levels of financial distress experienced by cancer patients. Each item response is scored 0-4 and then all individual item scores are summed. For incomplete surveys, the sum score is multiplied by 11 and then divided by the number of items answered. Total scores can range from 0-44 with higher scores representing higher subjective patient financial toxicity.'}, {'measure': 'Food security assessment plus HDMTM from baseline to 12 weeks', 'timeFrame': 'From baseline to 12 weeks', 'description': 'U.S. Adult Food Security Survey module to assess food security.It is a 10 item questionnaire developed by the US Department of Agriculture to specifically assess food insecurity in adults.
