Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies how well an internet-delivered positive affect (PA) intervention works in managing emotion in young adult cancer survivors. An internet-delivered PA intervention may teach younger cancer survivors healthy coping skills and help doctors to learn more about what effects mood may have on the health and well-being of young adults with cancer.

- Quantitative measures and interview will be used to quantify acceptability. The mean of participants responding affirmatively to the highest two responses from an intervention evaluation phone interview script created by investigators will be combined and exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be calculated for these estimates. Participants were asked the following questions: On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being definitely not to 10 being definitely yes, to what extent would you recommend these skills to a friend? and To what extent would you recommend this intervention to someone newly diagnosed with cancer?
