Economic evaluation of a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial comparing a community health worker palliative care intervention to enhanced standard of care in African American patients across four cancer centres in the USA: a study protocol

BMJ Open. 2025 Nov 4;15(11):e096402. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-096402.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Despite increasing palliative care capabilities in the USA, utilisation rates remain low for patients with advanced cancer, particularly among African American patients.
