"The Role of Oncology Nursing and Oncology Social Work in Patient Navigation" joint statement from ONS,
AOSW, and NASW was released in 2010 and can be viewed at www.ons.org/Publications/Positions/ Navigation.
Another sample of MSWs (n = 153) was selected randomly from the listing for the
AOSW. Participants represented a wide range of geographical areas throughout the United States.
The 30th annual
AOSW conference will be held in Baltimore from May 28-30.
The 424 members of
AOSW who responded to the survey were primarily white women with MSW degrees who had a good deal of experience as oncology social workers.
