Living Well Program for Anxiety in Breast Cancer Care
This study is looking at how a program called the Living Well Program can help women with breast cancer who are also experiencing moderate to severe anxiety. The program includes a mobile app with 21 modules based on psychoeducation (learning about mental health) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT, a type of talk therapy), along with telecoaching (coaching over the phone or video). The goal is to see if this program can lower overall healthcare costs for patients with stage II to IV breast cancer. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a first-time breast cancer diagnosis, are starting or have recently started treatment, and have moderate to severe anxiety. The study will compare your healthcare costs over six months to those of similar patients who didn't use the program. While the study status is unclear, it plans to enroll 50 participants.
