Summary

This study looks at the efficacy of proactive telephone outcall intervention as a method of improving health outcomes for carers of cancer patients. One of the major findings was the reduction in burden that the intervention was able to achieve. The results suggest that this method of carer support could be more commonly implemented to improve health outcomes for carers.
