The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $156,616 Project Grant under CFDA 93.393 "Cancer Cause and Prevention Research" to The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, a non-profit research organization. The purpose of this 2-year grant is to develop and conduct a preliminary psychometric evaluation of the Social Isolation Risk Scale (SIRS), a screening tool to identify head and neck cancer survivors at risk for social isolation. Key activities include:

  1. Developing an initial pool of SIRS scale items through discussions with subject matter experts and head and neck cancer survivors, followed by item refinement based on interviews with 30 socially isolated survivors.

  2. Administering the SIRS scale along with other assessments to 130 head and neck cancer survivors at 6-month and 9-month follow-ups, and performing preliminary psychometric analyses to select a final set of ~10 SIRS items.

The grant aims to improve long-term health outcomes for head and neck cancer survivors by addressing the critical issue of social isolation through developing a validated screening tool. This innovative project approaches the problem from the perspective of identifying and preventing the root cause of negative outcomes rather than addressing the outcomes themselves.
