Social Optimization Study for Lung Cancer Survivors
This study is looking at ways to improve the quality of life for people who have lived with lung cancer for a while. It's testing two behavioral programs: "Social support receptivity training" and "Social awareness training." These programs use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help reduce social anxiety, improve social skills, and encourage social connections. The study wants to see if these programs are practical to run and if people find them helpful. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) with a history of lung cancer, diagnosed at least 12 months ago, fluent in English, and can attend sessions virtually or in person at the University of Arizona. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
