What this study is

This is a phased mixed-methods behavioral intervention study that will develop and test Mindful Peer Coach, a peer-supported mindfulness program for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. Phase 1 is a formative qualitative study designed to identify survivor-reported needs and preferences for increasing engagement with a mindfulness meditation app. Phase 2 is a pilot intervention study that will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary engagement outcomes of the Mindful Peer Coach program using participant surveys, app-use data, peer-coach training, coaching sessions, weekly text-message check-ins, and exit interviews with survivors and coaches.

What's being tested

  • Live Virtual Coaching

    Intervention · BEHAVIORAL

    Participants will complete six structured weekly videoconference sessions designed to cultivate mindfulness practice and increase engagement with the Happier Meditation app. Each session follows a standardized framework outlined in the training manual to ensure consistency and fidelity. Between sessions, coaches will provide support and accountability via text messaging. The frequency of messages will be determined collaboratively during Session 1. Each exchange begins with a previously tested mindfulness message, followed by tailored responses to reinforce practice, address questions, and sustain engagement.
