Mind Over Matter for Black and African American Women: A Single Arm Trial Examining Feasibility and Acceptability of a Supportive Intervention
Managing cancer is hard. Strong, difficult feelings are normal and are part of every life. And, strong feelings are certainly part of a life lived with cancer. You can learn tools to help yourself cope. Research has shown that Black and African American cancer survivors may have higher levels of distress.
Inova Life with Cancer has developed a program called Mind Over Matter (MOM) which is designed to teach coping skills to participants to help manage the feelings and side effects associated with an experience of cancer, including diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. This study will explore if MOM is acceptable to Black and African American women who have received a cancer diagnosis and have completed primary treatment. The feedback that is gained from this study will help guide the future development and improvement of MOM.
