Digital mental and behavioral health interventions have potential to significantly improve accessibility for the large number of breast cancer survivors who need treatments. However, the landscape of digital interventions tested in this population remains limited, with the few that have been tested primarily focused on reducing symptoms of mental disorders. This is problematic given the range of psychosocial needs among breast cancer survivors, including those who may not have active mental health symptoms, yet could benefit from learning effective coping skills. Moreover, all of these interventions follow a "one size fits all" approach, lacking precision in terms of when, where, and to whom they should be given. The overarching goals of this project are to develop and pilot a variety of digital micro-interventions (DMIs) for breast cancer survivors - highly focused, technology-enabled interventions that can be delivered in the context of a person's daily life with little burden on the individual.
The overarching goal of this project is to evaluate a current evidence-based practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for mental health conditions against Cognitive Behavioral Therapy plus two check-in calls a week for adults living in rural Texas.
Mental health vulnerability due to stress is increased in People of African Descent (PADs) in America due to disproportionate effects of racism, poverty, education, and criminal justice sentencing. Various meditation and mindfulness approaches have provided evidence of measured reductions in multiple negative dimensions of stress. However, the majority of these studies do not have an adequate representation of PADs or other marginalized groups and are not designed to be culturally relevant or community based. Music has been shown to alleviate multiple symptoms of stress and has been shown to be a preferred and effective support for meditation and mindfulness. However, its role in stress management in PADs engaged in meditation or mindfulness is seldom studied. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a virtual, community-based music mindfulness program on stress management in PAD community members with anxiety and depression during COVID19. 2b. Social Music Study: Investigators will assess the neural mechanisms of feelings of subjective connectedness during communal music listening and creating between dyads of subjects who are both familiar and unfamiliar with each other.

US residents who have mental health issues sign the informed consent form and are screened and enrolled for this study. Participants complete a survey upon enrollment and are randomized into one of two study arms. This study is direct to participant and will NOT utilize clinical sites.
This pilot research study will provide timely access to behavioral health services through the provision of a single-session narrative therapy intervention. The goal of this 6-month study is to test the acceptability, feasibility, and fit of the intervention in an integrated primary care clinic serving people living with HIV.
