This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
Investigators will conduct a confirmatory efficacy trial of Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) delivered via telehealth for offspring of bipolar parents (OBP; age 12-18, n=120) at elevated risk for BP onset via risk calculator score. All participants receive a baseline clinical assessment of psychiatric symptoms and sleep disturbance (via objective and subjective methods), followed by a feedback session. Youth are then randomized to receive 8 sessions of IPSRT or a manualized Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Program (HL) delivered via secure videoconference. As clinically indicated, youth are offered Community Treatment Referral (CTR) for any psychiatric symptoms/disorders identified at intake. Primary outcome domains over 18 months include mania and affective lability. Investigators will also further investigate the hypothesized mechanism underlying IPSRT (i.e., sleep/circadian disruption) across levels of analysis, and the contribution of interpersonal stress to sleep/circadian disruptions. Application of Implementation Science methods throughout maximizes ultimate scalability and feasibility if efficacious. Investigators will also examine whether passive cellphone sensing may serve as a portable, cost-effective measure of mechanisms and outcomes to enhance ultimate dissemination.
Early Intervention for Youth at High Risk for Bipolar Disorder
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
