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.
Health inequalities in chronic pain exists in the US, with a greater burden of chronic pain and higher rate of misdiagnosis and undertreatment reported in minoritized groups compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Asian Americans (AA) are the fastest-growing racial/ethnic group in the US, yet despite the rapid growth in their numbers, AA remain under-represented in pain disparity research. Cultural norms of Asians may discourage reporting their pain to avoid burdening others or being seen as weak. Rather than seeking medical assistance, Asians have been reported to tend to accept the pain as natural or to suffer to maintain their independence. Very few evidence-based programs are available that can be implemented for this linguistically/socially isolated population in the US. This proposed study aims to fill critical knowledge gaps in pain disparity research by providing evidence of feasibility and acceptability of a culturally-tailored psychosocial pain education intervention for an underrepresented population using the KA community as an exemplar.
