A Study of Counseling Support for Cancer Survivors Age 65+ (NCT07768449)
A Randomized Controlled Trial of Brief Behavioral Activation for Older Adult Cancer Survivors (BBA-OACs)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to find out if a psychotherapy method called brief behavioral activation (BBA) can improve depression, anxiety, and overall well-being and encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors in English- and Spanish-speaking Older Adult Cancer Survivors (OACS). BBA is a therapeutic technique that guides people to set goals and engage in enjoyable or rewarding activities as a way of changing behavior and reducing symptoms of depression. In this study, BBA will be given by telephone or videoconference (remotely).
