A Tailored Medication Adherence-Promotion Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
Sponsor: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a tailored intervention can help make it easier for adolescents and young adults with cancer to take their medications. The main questions the researchers are trying to answer are: * Does the tailored intervention increase adherence? * Does the tailored intervention improve quality of life? * Does the tailored intervention reduce health care utilization? The researchers will compare the tailored intervention to a uniform standard of care intervention (an intervention designed to be similar to what is currently happening in clinical care) to see if the tailored intervention works to improve adherence. Participants will: * Use an electronic pill bottle or box to store their medication * Participate in intervention sessions * Complete surveys before the intervention, after the intervention, and 6-months later

Tailored Program
Participants will participate in 4 sessions with a coach, 1 every other week. During these sessions, the participant will work with their coach to identify a barrier to adherence they would like to target. Then, they will work with their coach to create an action plan using evidence-based behavior change techniques to address this barrier. In between sessions (on alternating weeks), the coach will check-in with a text reminder about the plan.
Feedback Program (Uniform Standard of Care)
Participants will receive weekly text messages with feedback about their adherence and guidance for requesting additional support if desired
