• Have a first appointment to see a medical oncologist at a Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCC) site for medical/systemic treatment for a new, confirmed diagnosis of stages I-IV cancer
• Speak and read English well enough to be able to understand consent documents
• Given the diverse population seen at KCI, we will make attempts to recruit a representative sample.
