The Supportive Care Needs Assessment Tool for Indigenous People (SCNAT-IP) is a validated, culturally-specific assessment tool that captures the unique, and often unmet, supportive care needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with cancer.
The tool was developed through a rigorous program of research and pilot testing. Further information about the tool’s development can be found here.
The SCNAT-IP tool has been designed to be delivered verbally by the health professional to the patient and will take around 15 minutes to complete. There is no charge to use the SCNAT-IP tool, however, a short online training module must be completed prior to using the tool. After completing the module health professionals will be given a password to access the tool.
