Detailed description

Participants will be recruited through the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation who will share the study announcement with their young adult members and social media. Eligible participants will complete a baseline battery survey via Qualtrics. The investigators will recruit 120 participants. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Participants will be randomly assigned to an experimental group or control group. The experimental group will take an Internet-based behavioral activation intervention. The intervention has four modules and will be administered via Qualtrics. A link to each module will be sent to the participants via e-mail. Participants will have one week to complete each module. Once a participant completes a module, the next module link will be sent after 3 days. A reminder will be sent at 7 days and 10 days until the module is complete. Each module will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The experimental group may continue to receive services as usual from the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation. The control group will continue to receive services as usual from the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation. The control group will have an opportunity to take the intervention once data collection is complete. Both groups will be asked to complete a battery of surveys at the end of the intervention and intermittently over a 3-month period.
