Psychoeducational Intervention for Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This study is testing a program called HARMONY, which is a psychoeducational intervention for people newly diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. The goal is to see if HARMONY is a good fit for patients and if it's practical to study it more widely. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have been diagnosed with HCC in the last six months, and can complete study tasks in English. The study is looking to enroll about 50 participants. The main way they will measure success in this part of the study is by looking at how many people enroll within 10 weeks. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This study has two parts. Part 2 is a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) where participants will be randomly assigned to receive either HARMONY or enhanced usual care (a supportive care resource guide).
What's involved
Participants will complete a survey at the beginning of the study.
