Summary

This project's overall goal is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of two coach-assisted, computer-based, cognitive- behavioral therapy (C-CBT) interventions in treating depression and anxiety in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The two coach-assisted interventions will be compared to the standard C-CBT intervention.

Detailed description

This will be a three-arm randomized controlled trial with two treatment arms and one control arm. Participants in the first treatment arm will receive a coach-assisted C-CBT intervention called "Beating the Blues" (BtB). A second treatment arm will receive a coach-assisted, animated C-CBT intervention called "Entertain Me Well" (EMW). Both treatment arms will have 8 weekly sessions that contain core components of CBT. A coach will provide between-session support throughout the 8 sessions. The control arm will use the standard care of BtB without coach assistance.
