Social Optimization Study
About this study
This study tests whether clinical interventions to optimize support receptivity lead to improvements in social integration and quality of life (QOL) amongst long-term lung cancer survivors. The feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and assessment procedures will be examined. Thirty long-term lung cancer survivors will be randomized to a support receptivity intervention or an attention-control condition. Our intervention draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies to reduce social anxiety, improve social awareness, and promote social integration. We will use two novel in vivo sampling methods using a mobile phone platform to assess social engagement and QOL improvements: 1) recording via the Electronically Activated Recorder to capture daily social interactions, and 2) repeated self-report sampling where participants answer questions about their social engagement experiences via their personal cell phone.
