Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer receive inadequate surveillance for treatment-related late effects. This study evaluates the acceptability and feasibility of a mobile phone messaging intervention targeting behavior changes related to receiving survivorship care among AYA survivors. Content from an existing text-messaging survivorship education intervention will be adapted to a novel text-messaging platform, Chorus. Ten AYA survivors will be recruited to participate in the expanded 12-week text messaging intervention. In-depth interviews will be conducted with each participant during the study, and a focus group with all participants will be conducted at the end of the study. Qualitative analysis will determine areas for improvement in the text messaging intervention in order to ensure acceptability and feasibility in AYA survivors. The text messaging intervention on Chorus will be adapted to better suit the needs of AYA survivors based on the results of the qualitative analysis. Mobile phone interventions offer a cost-effective, age-appropriate approach to AYA survivorship care education. If effective, the text-messaging intervention will be evaluated in a randomized, controlled pilot trial to improve rates of survivorship care and clinical outcomes for AYA survivors.

- description
- Acceptability and feasibility of an expanded mobile phone intervention as assessed by key informant interview questions and a focus group discussion developed based on the Technology Acceptance Model: (a) perceived usefulness of the text messaging system for completing ASAP goals, (b) perceived ease of use of the text messaging system for completing ASAP goals, and (c) effect of the text messaging system on intent to complete ASAP goals. The assessment will be qualitative only. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) evaluates how likely a user of new technology will accept and continue to use the new technology. TAM posits that if the technology is perceived as useful, easy to use, and increases intent to use - then the technology is more likely to be accepted. Interview questions and focus group discussion points will ask about these criteria. If responses satisfy the TAM criteria, this supports mobile phone intervention as acceptable and feasible for use in AYA cancer survivors.
