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.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) consists of discrete therapeutic components that are delivered across 12 sessions, but most Veterans never reach session 12, and those who drop out receive only 4 sessions on average. Veterans drop out because of time constraints, logistics, and lack of perceived benefit. Unfortunately, Veterans who drop out prematurely may never receive the most effective components of CPT and continue to experience symptom-related distress and numerous other negative outcomes, including lost productivity, substance use, later-life physical disability, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of suicide. The overall objective of this study is to adapt CPT into a brief, effective format. The rationale is that identifying the most effective intervention components and delivering only those components will make CPT deliverable in a shorter timeframe, thus improving efficiency, reducing drop-out related to poor treatment response, and ensuring that Veterans receive the most beneficial components of treatment, which will significantly improve their quality of life.
Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy to Adapt Cognitive Processing Therapy
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.
