A technology-based intervention which may increase lung cancer caregivers\' knowledge about the benefits of supportive care resources, identify their unmet needs, and connect them with supportive care resources. CONNECT is designed to empower and educate caregivers about the benefits of supportive care resources and to systematically identify unmet needs and connect lung cancer caregivers with tailored supportive care resources. It consists of a multi-component e-tool with the following: (1) a brief educational video that seeks to empower and educate caregivers about the importance of self-care and benefits of supportive care resource use; (2) an assessment of multidimensional supportive care needs (e.g., psychological, behavioral, social, financial, educational, spiritual); (3) a tailored resource list that includes local and national resources corresponding to caregivers needs; and (4) an optional automated referral to a caregiver navigator to facilitate connection to resources.
