PROJECT SUMMARY Managing any illness means also managing its economic burden, i.e., the burden due to costs of care and productivity losses. This can financially devastate patients and their families. Not being able to pay medical or other bills, borrowing money, using up savings, even declaring bankruptcy, are just a few of the financial hardships patients experience. An emerging body of literature suggests that this economic burden may also take an emotional toll. In our own program of research, we found that cancer patients expressed worry about the cost of treatment or taking time off work when making treatment decisions, and that one in two gynecologic cancer patients starting chemotherapy already reported financial distress. To date, little attention has been paid to how emotional well-being and economic burden are related. The opportunity to fully understand the underlying mechanisms between economic burden, emotional well-being, and broader health outcomes is further hampered by the lack of dedicated researchers and lack of ‘cross-talk’ across disciplines and fields of research. Consequently, we do not know how to reduce the impact of the economic burden of disease and enhance well-being. We propose to address knowledge gaps and overcome barriers to progress in this emerging area of research by establishing the Emotional Well-Being and Economic Burden (EMOT-ECON) Research Network. This Network will bring together multidisciplinary scientists across institutions to take a transdisciplinary approach to answering the most urgent emotional well- being and economic burden questions. Novel and outstanding features of the EMOT-ECON Network include: i) leadership by a health economist and a clinical psychologist, long-term collaborators, and colleagues. They will be supported by a leadership team that includes patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and policymakers who will bring unique knowledge and perspective to enrich Network activities; ii) pilot project program portfolio of diverse funding mechanisms, including opportunities specifically designed to recruit new investigators to the field; and iii) use of social media and an interactive website to attract researchers, facilitate the formation of new research teams, and share opportunities, resources and products. Our effort, designed to build research capacity in emotional well-being and economic burden, will have a substantial impact by generating the body of knowledge necessary to develop interventions that minimize the impact of the economic burden of disease and enhance well-being.

项目概要 管理任何疾病也意味着管理其经济负担，即护理费用造成的负担 和生产力损失。这可能会给患者及其家人带来经济上的损失。 支付医疗或其他费用、借钱、用完积蓄，甚至宣布破产，都只是 一些新兴文献表明，很少有患者经历过经济困难。 在我们自己的研究计划中，我们发现经济负担也可能造成情感损失。 癌症患者表示担心治疗费用或在进行治疗时请假 治疗决定，以及二分之一的妇科癌症患者已经开始化疗 迄今为止，很少有人关注财务困境。 和经济负担是相关的。 经济负担、情绪健康和更广泛的健康结果之间的平衡受到进一步阻碍 由于缺乏专门的研究人员以及缺乏跨学科和研究领域的“交叉对话”。 经过测试，我们不知道如何减少疾病和经济负担的影响 我们建议解决知识差距并克服进步的障碍。 通过建立情感健康和经济负担来研究这一新兴领域 (EMOT-ECON) 研究网络该网络将汇集多学科科学家。 跨机构采取跨学科方法来解决最紧迫的情感问题 EMOT-ECON 网络的新颖和突出特点。 包括： i) 由健康经济学家和临床心理学家、长期合作者领导，以及 他们将得到包括患者、护理人员、医疗保健人员在内的领导团队的支持。 提供者和政策制定者将带来独特的知识和观点来丰富网络 活动；ii) 不同融资机制的试点项目计划组合，包括机会 专门设计用于招募新的调查人员到该领域；以及 iii) 使用社交媒体和 互动网站吸引研究人员，促进新研究团队的形成，并分享 我们的努力，旨在建立情感研究能力。 福祉和经济负担，将通过产生知识体系产生重大影响 有必要制定干预措施，尽量减少疾病和经济负担的影响 增强福祉。
