Previvors Recharge: A Resilience Program for Cancer Previvors

PreCharge is an intervention for Hereditary Cancer Syndrome Previvors that administers brief assessments and uses multivariate algorithms and tailoring technology to provide timely, individualized, bi-directional text messages to improve resilience and coping. The program uses proven approaches to behavior change tailoring to increase resilience by promoting a positive mindset, strong social connections, and a deep sense of meaning and purpose. It will also proactively provide access to online tools prior to medical appointments to address scanxiety (e.g., management of emotion tips; mindfulness meditation; communication scripts; breathing exercises). At any time, users will be able to text a trigger word to indicate that they need extra support and will receive just-in-time assistance via text message.
