Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this study is to plan for a large scale evaluation of a program called Mindful After Cancer, or MAC. The MAC Program provides training in mindfulness, educational material about sexual health after cancer, and support to cancer survivors experiencing sexual and body image concerns.

The main study aims are to:

1. Develop effective plans for recruiting participants across multiple sites
2. Evaluate participation in the program and surveys
3. Develop plans to train and supervise the professionals who will deliver the program.

Researchers will compare study recruitment across three sites, aiming to identify the most efficient approach for a larger future trial.

Participants who are randomly assigned to receive the MAC program will receive access to the 8-week program delivered by a trained mindfulness coach using videoconference and online materials. They will asked to participate in an interview about their experiences at the end of the program.

Participants who are not randomly assigned to the MAC program will receive access to the program's educational materials after completing the final survey.

All study participants will be asked to complete 3 online surveys. Participants randomly assigned to the MAC Program will also be asked to complete a one-on-one interview about their experience in the program.
