What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating a culturally tailored Web App-based program designed to help Asian American breast cancer survivors manage cancer pain and depressive symptoms. This study focuses on Asian American women who have had breast cancer and are experiencing pain and depression, aiming to improve their pain management experience using technology. The study builds on prior work and addresses the unique cultural and psychological needs of this population, considering factors like stigma and language barriers. The study compares two groups: one using a new version of the Web App called CAI, which includes individualized coaching and additional features to optimize support, and another using CAPA, the original Web App for cancer pain management. Both programs provide culturally tailored information and coaching, including bilingual support and peer social media functions. The study includes an initial development and usability testing phase followed by a randomized trial involving 300 participants. Participants will be involved over several months, with assessments conducted at the start, after one month, and after three months. These assessments include pain management measures, depression scales, symptom inventories, activity monitoring with Fitbit devices, and quality of life evaluations. Researchers will also collect data on attitudes, social influences, disease and genetic factors, and stress levels to understand how the intervention works. The study monitors safety and progress throughout the participation period, which lasts at least three months post-intervention.
