Online Problem-Solving Intervention for Brain Tumor Survivors: A Two-site, Two-arm Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
72 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The main goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to learn if an online program called "Survivors Journey" (SJ+) can help teens and young adults, ages 15-25, who are Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors (PBTS), and their caregivers, manage everyday challenges better by using skills like problem-solving and coping skills. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the SJ+ program rated as feasible (\>50% enrollment rate and \>75% retention rate) and acceptable (\>80% satisfaction rate) by PBTS and their caregivers? * Does the SJ+ program have better outcomes in improving PBTS and caregiver wellbeing in comparison to an internet resource comparison (IRB) made for PBTS and their families? Participants will be randomized into two groups: one group will be given access to the online SJ+ program and receive weekly online coaching sessions, and the other group will be given access to an IRC. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, treatment completion (\~ 3 months post-baseline), and at follow-up six months post-baseline. These outcomes include quality of life, internalizing symptoms, performance-based executive function skills, depression, and family impact.

Interventions
Our overarching objectives are to: 1) to refine the existing program based on feedback from patient advocates and establish usability and accessibility; 2) examine the efficacy of SJ+ in improving global QoL, internalizing symptoms, and EF skills in adolescent/emerging adult PBTS; and 3) examine the efficacy of SJ+ in reducing caregiver depression and family impact.
