Modifiers and Mechanisms of Loneliness Interventions

Conditions

Study Overview

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.

Description

A specific aim of this research is to identify the role of emotion regulation in response to social threat in caregivers' response to a behavioral coaching intervention for loneliness. A second aim of the study is to determine the benefit of a digitized, social engagement prioritization tool for improving coaches' intervention fidelity and caregiver outcomes. This study is funded through the Pilot Award Program of the Rochester Roybal Center for Social Ties \& Aging Research, a UR Center funded by the National Institute on Aging by grant P30AG064103.
