Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The overarching goal of the current study is to reduce the burden Asian American patients may feel are on their caregivers by designing and testing the feasibility and efficacy of a positive activity intervention designed to increase a sense of autonomy, competence, and connectedness, each of which have been shown to be associated with psychological benefits according to self-determination theory.
