Interventions

BEHAVIORALWith Love, Grandma ("Con Cariño, Abuelita")

Cancer survivor-Daughter dyads will log in to a secured website to access intervention content over a period of 10-12 weeks. The intervention will be delivered primarily through smartphones and will include 8 modules with didactic content on healthy lifestyle behaviors for cancer prevention and control, family behavior change content for setting weekly goals and self-monitoring health behaviors, and family communication and positive parenting/grandparenting content, all of which were developed in accordance with participant feedback based on formative intervention development work. In addition, and to increase participant compliance/reduce attrition often observed in digital health interventions, human support ("supportive accountability") will be provided. Specifically, each family will be assigned a "coach" who will use video conferencing software to engage in weekly 15-30 minute sessions regarding the family's progress throughout the intervention period.
