Developing a Culturally Relevant Supportive Care Program for Black Patients Dealing With Advanced Cancer

Detailed Description
Primary Objectives:
The purpose of this RCT is to thoroughly determine the feasibility of the overall RCT design as well as specific intervention procedures in this underserved population to inform if a large efficacy trial is warranted. Our results will lead to future NIH R01 applications in which efficacy and mechanisms of the interventions will be tested using fully powered samples of Black patients with advanced cancer including multicenter trials. The long-term goal is to establish the effectiveness of the MBS-A intervention and widely disseminate the intervention. Ultimately, the intervention is intended to improve cancer control and reduce the double disparity in this underserved patient population.
We propose the following specific aims:
- Systematically and culturally adapt a meditation-based support intervention (MBS-A) and finalize the intervention components and delivery format that meet the needs of Black patients with advanced cancer.
- Identify the feasibility of conducting a supportive-care RCT in Black patients with advanced cancer as determined by recruitment and retention rates, randomization and blinding procedures, and intervention delivery.
- Identify the feasibility of implementing the MBS-A and AC interventions as determined by session attendance, intervention acceptability, and treatment fidelity.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Aim 1 (individual interview)
Participants will be interviewed
|
Group 1, participant will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients in which you will practice meditation. Group 2, participate will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients that focuses on coping with cancer. Participants will be asked to participate weekly sessions for 4 weeks (that is a total of 4 sessions) and each session will last about 60 minutes. Both groups will be delivered via Zoom (a web-based videoconferencing service) and led by a master's-level interventionist. Group 1, participant will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients in which you will practice meditation. Group 2, participate will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients that focuses on coping with cancer. Participants will be asked to participate weekly sessions for 4 weeks (that is a total of 4 sessions) and each session will last about 60 minutes. Both groups will be delivered via Zoom (a web-based videoconferencing service) and led by a master's-level interventionist. |
Experimental: Aim 2 (supportive care program)
Participants will be assigned to one of two groups
|
Group 1, participant will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients in which you will practice meditation. Group 2, participate will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients that focuses on coping with cancer. Participants will be asked to participate weekly sessions for 4 weeks (that is a total of 4 sessions) and each session will last about 60 minutes. Both groups will be delivered via Zoom (a web-based videoconferencing service) and led by a master's-level interventionist. Group 1, participant will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients in which you will practice meditation. Group 2, participate will be in a supportive care program with other Black cancer patients that focuses on coping with cancer.

Both groups will be delivered via Zoom (a web-based videoconferencing service) and led by a master's-level interventionist. |
Experimental: Aim 3 (supportive care program)
Participants will be assessed regarding their program participation
|

MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, which consists of 13 core items assessing symptom severity and 6 items assessing symptom interference with daily living.71,72 If the family-based format is selected, patients and caregivers will complete the form as it applies to their own symptoms as well as their perceptions of each other's symptoms.73 MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-Score Scale "at its worst" using 0-10 numerical rating scales with 0 = "not present" and 10 = "as bad as you can imagine." |
