Improving Well-being for Older Adults With Lung Cancer

This study is developing a new behavioral intervention called LuCA Behavioral Intervention for older adults (60 years and up) with lung cancer. It aims to help you manage concerns related to aging and lung cancer by teaching skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The study will first create a way to assess your needs and then test this new intervention. Success for this study means seeing how many people join and complete the study activities, and how satisfied they are with the intervention. This study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
