Key Points Question What is the association between financial toxicity (FT) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among partners of colorectal cancer survivors? Findings In this survey study with 307 patient-partner dyads, partners with financial burden, debt, and financial worry reported poorer HRQoL in the domains of pain interference, fatigue, physical function, sleep disturbance, and social functioning. Systems- and individual-level behavioral factors were associated with partner financial outcomes and HRQoL. Meaning These findings suggest that long-term FT is associated with poor HRQoL among partners and that interventions are critically needed for both patients and partners to address FT at multiple levels.
