Summary

Our team has developed a digital intervention that aims to help adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYAs) manage symptoms of depression. This tool includes one psychoeducation component and four components that are based on evidence-based interventions for depression. The goal of this study is to test which component or combination of components meaningfully contribute to improvements in depressive symptoms among AYAs.

AYA Survivors Coping and Emotional Needs Toolkit (ASCENT)

Participants will receive access to a digital depression self-management tool (ASCENT), which aims to help AYAs manage symptoms of depression post-treatment. All users will have access to the core tool which includes daily mood tracking and a psychoeducational module about cancer and depression. Depending on assigned condition, participants will also receive access to up to 4 intervention modules which have been adapted from existing evidence-based treatments for digital delivery to AYAs through a rigorous user-centered design process. Within each module there are 6 micro-lessons that include an educational video, a real story from an AYA that demonstrates the topic, multiple choice questions that ask the participant to apply the educational information to the AYA story, open-ended questions that ask the participant to apply the educational information to their own experience, and a practice activity in which they are asked to try out a relevant skill.
