The PRISM-Social Needs (PRISM-SN) Intervention for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Purpose

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.

    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.

In this randomized controlled trial, AYAs newly diagnosed with cancer will be recruited from two sites and randomly assigned to receive usual care alone or usual care with the Promoting Resilience in Stress Management - Social Needs (PRISM-SN) adapted program. PRISM-SN is a skill-based behavioral program that includes 4 core modules plus a newly developed social health module. Participants on both arms with complete a standardized patient-reported outcome survey assessing aspects of social and psychological functioning at enrollment and 12-week follow-up.
