Interventions
Cancer Education on side effects and their management, treatment options, advance care planning, and survivorship. Each session will last about 30-60 minutes and will be completed over the phone or by video call.
Meaning-centered counseling aims to activate culturally relevant meaning-focused coping strategies in Chinese-speaking patients and survivors (CCS). Each session will last about 45-60 minutes and will be completed over the phone or by video call.
Peer support aims to increase social support for CCS to decrease cancer stigma, which has been associated with greater psychological distress, especially among less acculturated Chinese immigrant CCS. The meetings will include up to 6-8 Mandarin-speaking patients and survivors and will last about 90 minutes.
