Respondents report symptoms on a 5-point rating scale from 1 "never" to 5 "always" in the past 7 days, with higher scores indicating higher levels of negative affect. A total raw summary score is calculated and then translated into a standardized T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, with higher scores indicating higher symptoms. The change in T-score points from baseline to 6 months will be examined, with positive scores indicating increasing symptoms and negative scores indicating decreasing symptoms.

This 27-item measures health-related quality of life and yields an overall General Total score and four subscales: Physical Well-Being (PWB), Social/Family Well-Being (SWB), Emotional Well-Being (EWB) and Functional Well-Being (FWB). Respondents rate each item on 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) in the past 7 days, where higher numbers indicate higher health state. Each scale is a summary of responses, ranging from 0 to 28 for PWB, SWB, and FWB, 0 to 24 for EWB, and 0 to 108 for General Total.

Those who indicate financial responsibility will respond to the full 11-item scale of financial toxicity associated with cancer treatment. Respondents rate each item on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) in the past 7 days. The measure yields a total summary score, with higher scores indicating greater financial strain.

Participants first rate their distress on a 0-10 scale. Higher score indicates higher distress. Next, they are asked to check off areas of concern from the past week, including practical (e.g., housing arrangements, work, bills, transportation), family (e.g., parents, siblings, partner), emotional (e.g., sadness, isolation, guilt), social (e.g., isolation from friends, missing important events), physical (e.g., body image, sexual concerns, sleeping difficulty), and informational (e.g., understanding information, feeling involved in decision-making) needs. A total score from 0 to 51 is calculated.

This 25-item self-report measure of five theoretically-important constructs of everyday problem-solving, including positive problem orientation, negative problem orientation, rational problem-solving style, impulsive/carelessness style, and avoidant style. Respondents answer each item on 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all true of me) to 4 (extremely true of me). Summary scores ranging from 0-20 are computed for each subscale, as well as an overall score. A higher Total score indicates better problem-solving ability.

This four-item measure assesses perceptions of social isolation on a 5-point scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always) in the past 7days. Higher scores indicating higher levels of perceived isolation.

Participants will check whether they have used or received services in the following categories: psychosocial support, informational and practical support, fertility or sexual health, physical/wellness services and integrative medicine services.

Ten-item scale assesses utility of intervention-specific components (e.g., the user manual, worksheets), attitude towards the intervention, trainer competence, and perceived benefit attributable to the intervention. Participants will answer on a 5 point scale, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction. This measure will be administered at post-intervention to intervention arm only.
