First seen May 10, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tested a program called PRISM, which teaches skills like stress management and goal setting, to see if it helps racial minority patients with serious illnesses feel more resilient and communicate better with their healthcare providers. The study enrolled 28 seriously ill adults, such as those with advanced cancer or heart failure. The goal was to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
