RECRUITING

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction App

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

African American caregivers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have unique needs because they are more likely to experience stressors related to intersecting sources of stigma, discrimination, and caregiving burdens specifically associated with caregiving for PLWHA. The proposed project will enhance and finalize Phase I app development and evaluate its effectiveness in a randomized controlled trial. The project has high public health significance because of its potential to provide an accessible, easy to use mindfulness-based support tool for African American caregivers that could reduce stress, mitigate the harm of intersecting stigmas, and strengthen the caregiver-care recipient relationship.
