Expressive Writing Program for Young Adults with Blood Cancer
This study is looking at whether an online Expressive Writing Workshop can help young adults (ages 18-39) with blood cancer (hematologic malignancy) feel better mentally. You can join if you have blood cancer, are in treatment or have finished, or if you are a caregiver for someone with blood cancer. You must live in the U.S., Canada, or U.S. territories and be able to read and write in English. The study will compare the mental well-being and stress levels of those who start the workshop right away versus those who wait four weeks. The goal is to see if this workshop can improve mental wellness. The study aims to enroll 100 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Mental WellbeingBaseline, 4, and 8 weeks
Participants' mental wellbeing will be evaluated using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), specifically the original 14-item scale developed by researchers at the University of Warwick and the University of Edinburgh in 2007. This self-report questionnaire asks questions about participants' feelings and how they have been functioning over the last two weeks to capture a comprehensive view of their recent mental wellbeing. Participants will rate each question on a 5-point Likert scale, and their responses will be totaled to a mental wellbeing score ranging from 14-70; higher scores indicate greater wellbeing.
- Perceived StressBaseline, 4, and 8 weeks
A self-report questionnaire captures whether participants perceive different life situations as overwhelming or uncontrollable. Participants will rate each question on a 5-point Likert scale, and their responses will be totaled to a stress score ranging from 0-40, with higher score indicated more perceived stress.
