About this trial

The goal of this study is to establish feasibility, acceptability, and proof-of-concept of an psychosocial intervention adapted to address social health needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) newly diagnosed with cancer. The aims of this study are to:

1. Determine if the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management - Social Needs (PRISM-SN) adapted intervention is feasible and acceptable, defined via program uptake and retention and patient-reported feedback. 2. Explore whether PRISM-SN improves social outcomes at 12-week follow-up compared to usual care.

Participants will be randomized to receive usual psychosocial care or the PRISM-SN program. Participants on both arms will complete patient-reported outcome surveys at enrollment and 12-weeks later. Researchers will compare participants who received the PRISM-SN program to those who received usual care to see if the program improves psychosocial outcomes.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Promoting Resilience in Stress Management - Social Needs (PRISM-SN)

    Behavioral

    The Promoting Resilience in Stress Management - Social Needs (PRISM-SN) intervention is a brief, skill-based psychosocial program. Five core sessions are delivered one-on-one, 1-2 weeks apart, in-person or via videoconference. Sessions teach evidence-based behavioral skills for managing stress, setting goals, reframing negative thoughts, meaning-making, and connecting with others. Each session lasts \<60 minutes and is supported by paper-and-pencil or mobile app-based worksheet(s) for learning and practice. A final review session may be completed individually or with a family member, caregiver, or significant other.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Cancer Behavior Inventory - Social Relationship Coping Efficacy (CBI-SCRE) Measure

The Cancer Behavior Inventory - Social Relationship Coping Efficacy measure assesses one's confidence to engage in behaviors that maintain or enhance close social relationships in the context of illness. Ten items are rated 1-10; items are summed, with higher scores reflecting higher social relationship coping efficacy.

Time frame
12-weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)

The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is a brief tool designed to measure support from family, friends, and a significant other. It includes 12 items with 4 per subscale. Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 (very strongly disagree) to 7 (very strongly agree). It has been validated in both adolescents and adults. Mean scale scores ranging from 1-2.9 can be considered low support; 3-5 considered moderate support; and 5.1-7 considered high support.

Time frame
12-weeks
2

Snyder Hope Scale

The Snyder Hope Scale contains 8 hope items plus 4 filler questions, and measures the overall perception that one's goals can be met. Each item is scored on an 8-point Likert scale; higher scores imply greater levels of hopeful thought patterns.

Time frame
12-weeks
3

Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pediatric Profile-25 and Family Relationships Subscale

The Pediatric Profile-25 (v2.0) includes 25 items assessing health status across 7 domains: physical function mobility, anxiety, depressive symptoms, fatigue, peer relationships, pain interference, and pain intensity. For this study, we will also include the 4-items pediatric family relationships short-form subscale (v1.0). All items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale except for a single pain intensity item scored on a 10-point scale; higher scores indicate more of each domain. Total raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a population mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10.

Time frame
12-weeks
4

Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CS-RISC)

The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CS-RISC) is a reliable and widely used instrument assessing self-perceived resilience. Scores range from 0-40, with higher scores indicating higher self-perceived resilience.

Time frame
12-weeks

Other outcomes

1

Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)

The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) assess perceived intervention acceptability. It includes 4-items such as "\[program\] meets my approval," scored 1-5, with higher scores reflecting more acceptability. Scores are averaged across items. This measure will be completed by experimental arm participants only.

Time frame
12-weeks
