Promoting Quality of Life Among Young Adult Cancer Survivors

Achieving Wellness After Kancer in Early life (AWAKE) is a behavioral intervention that includes a smartphone app and coaching. AWAKE contains eight modules, and participants will complete the one module every week. App functioning will facilitate weekly homework assignments and include health education messaging, the ability to track progress toward goals over time via self-monitoring and graphical depictions of progress, audio-recordings of guided imagery exercises and relaxation exercises (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation), videos of topic-related inspirational material, and a portal for interacting with the coach. The coach will call each intervention participant weekly. Each coaching session will last roughly 30 minutes and involve four segments that will correspond to the module for the week. The coach will send daily text messages to participants encouraging their goal pursuits and providing other sources of support related to that week's homework.

The attention control group will receive the same components as the intervention group, but the educational modules will contain different content than those receiving the AWAKE intervention.
