A study to examine mindfulness training to improve mental health and well-being in younger breast cancer survivors.
Objective
NRG-CC015 is a prospective, randomized phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of two distinct digital approaches for delivering a mindfulness-based intervention: a live, instructor-led version delivered over Zoom (MAPs LO), and an app-based, self-paced version (MAPs App). Participants will include younger breast cancer survivors (BCS) who were diagnosed with breast cancer at or before age 50 years, have completed their primary cancer treatment (i.e., surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy) at least 6 months earlier, and report elevated depressive symptoms.

(Participants may still be taking adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab or adjuvant endocrine therapy or completing minor reconstructive surgery.)
