Abstract

INFORM is a research project designed to improve services available for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) cancer patients. To achieve this, we are developing a communication aid intervention, which involves audio-recording key patient hospital consultations and Question Prompt List (QPL). The purpose of this communication aid package will be to improve patient health information knowledge, and communication with their healthcare team.
