Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this study is to develop a virtual group intervention to address post-traumatic stress related to cancer in young adult cancer survivors (YACs, aged 18-39). The study team will do this by integrating evidence-guided treatments and expert clinician feedback (N=10) on the content, delivery, and structure of the intervention. Next, the study team will refine this intervention through a pilot trial with a group of YACs (N=80).
