Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Adults with Advanced Lung Cancer
Older adults with stage III or stage IV lung cancer will be enrolled in the Self-System Therapy intervention to treat illness-related distress, depression, and to enhance self-efficacy via delivery of behavioral coping skills across a period of 12 weeks.
Self-System Therapy for Older Adults with Advanced Lung Cancer (SST-LC)
The SST-LC is a brief structured intervention deliverable by video conference. The new SST-LC protocol will incorporate behavioral strategies designed to meet the needs of older adults with lung cancer, including examining individual and shared expectations for lung cancer care, identifying discrepancies between expectations and realistic possibilities, and modifying stress-exacerbating behaviors.
