mHealth for Young Adult Cancer Survivors

The intervention utilizes an empirically supported protocol, further refined with evidence-based strategies targeting the needs of young adult (YA) survivors. Its long-term goal is to promote hopeful thinking, and ultimately enhance other long-term markers of quality of life (QOL) (including mental health and health behaviors). The intervention follows 8 weekly curricula, reinforced through psychoeducation and skill-building, homework/practical application, and self-monitoring. Its 8-week design was informed by cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology intervention literature.
