Keep Social Randomized Controlled Trial for Young Adults With Cancer

This trial aims to examine the effectiveness of our social connectedness intervention toimprove social and emotional well‐being among young adults with cancer. The investigatorswill enroll up to 395 young adults ages 22‐39 who had received a cancer diagnosis as anadolescent or young adult (diagnosed at age 15‐39). Participants will complete our 7‐weekprotocol, which includes a 4‐week intervention phase. During weeks 1 and 2, we willgather information about daily life as usual (e.g., social interactions). At thebeginning of week 3, participants will be randomized to trial arm (experimental orcontrol) and introduced to a beta version of a simulated social media site. Participantswho do not take the week 3 survey will not be randomized and will be dropped from thestudy. During weeks 3‐6, participants will interact with a simulated social mediaplatform, branded as Invibe. Participants will have passive exposure to intervention orcontrol stimuli in the social media feeds. Participants also had forced exposure tostimuli posts (intervention messages vs. control messages) in the online survey afterinteracting with Invibe. During week 7, participants will complete the final weeklysurvey.
