This study, called the CARE Study, is looking at ways to help Asian American cancer patients feel less burdened about their caregivers. It's testing two new activities: "Contribution to Caregivers Well-Being" (helping with household tasks) and a "Control" activity (describing your immediate environment, weather, or closet organization). The goal is to see if these activities can make patients feel more in control, capable, and connected, which can improve their well-being. Researchers will measure your feelings using surveys like the Affect-Adjective Scale (AAS) and PROMIS Global Health (PROMIS G10) at different times over 8 weeks. You might be able to join if you are an Asian American adult between 21 and 80 years old, have been diagnosed with cancer within the last two years or have stage 4 cancer, are currently receiving or recently received treatment (like chemotherapy or immunotherapy), and have a caregiver.
