Summary

This study tested a program called Bright IDEAS-YA that teaches young adults with cancer a step-by-step approach to solving problems. The goal was to see if it could reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve quality of life. 344 young adults (ages 18-39) newly diagnosed with cancer took part. The program was compared to usual supportive care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bright IDEAS-YA problem-solving skills training
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could become a standard way to help young adults with cancer feel less depressed and anxious.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but the intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone. Results depend on how well participants engage with the training.
