DESCANSO for Depression, Insomnia, and Fatigue in Latino People With Cancer

This study is testing a mental health program called DESCANSO/REST for Spanish-speaking Latino adults with cancer who are experiencing depression, insomnia (trouble sleeping), and fatigue (extreme tiredness). The program aims to improve these symptoms and can be delivered through telehealth (online or by phone). Researchers will measure how many participants complete at least 5 DESCANSO sessions over up to one year. The study plans to enroll 125 participants, but its current status is unclear.
