Interventions
AYA Educational Information
AYA-specific educational information is delivered using video conferencing by a clinical psychologist over six sessions. Participants will receive a written manual providing tips for engaging with educational content as well as access to a website specific to the control arm, which will provide written, video, and pictorial information.
AYA STEPS
The intervention provides cognitive-behavioral and patient activation theory-based skills designed to enhance AYA survivors' abilities to manage their high symptom burden and engage in follow-up health care. Sessions with the psychologist will focus on enhancing participants' abilities to apply intervention skills and engage in the AYA STEPS digital health intervention using motivational interviewing, goal setting, and problem-solving techniques. Participants will complete the six sessions over the 12 weeks of the AYA STEPS intervention.
