Implementation and Effectiveness of HN-STAR in Managing the Health of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer Survivors

This trial studies how a computer program, the Head and Neck Survivorship Tool: Assessment and Recommendations (HN-STAR) works in helping health care providers care for survivors of head and neck squamous cell cancer. HN-STAR is a type of survivorship tool that survivors and their health care providers may use together to better manage the survivors' health.
