Survey Assessments
The CMS Social Determinant of Health (SDOH) Survey refers to CMS's standardized screening tool used to identify patient needs related to housing, food, transportation, utilities, and safety. It helps providers address non-medical barriers to care and improve health outcomes by documenting social risk factors in a consistent manner. The NCCN Distress Thermometer and Problem List is a screening tool developed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to help identify and assess distress in people with cancer. It includes a 0-10 distress rating scale and a Problem List that allows patients to indicate specific practical, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual concerns contributing to their distress.
Diet Recall
A diet recall is a nutrition assessment method where an individual reports all foods and beverages consumed over a specific period, most commonly the previous 24 hours. It captures detailed information-such as portion sizes, preparation methods, and timing-to help clinicians or researchers evaluate dietary intake and identify nutritional patterns or deficiencies
Blood Biomarker Collection
The blood specimens will be processed for plasma and buffy coat.
