Interest in Equine Assisted Services within Riley Hospital Neuro-oncology Patient Population
Jignesh Tailor
Primary Investigator
Brief description of study
What is the purpose of this study?
The goal of this study is to measure the level of interest in EAS within the current neuro- oncology patient population at Riley Hospital, as well as preferences on days of week, times of day, and locations.
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.
