Symptom Management for YA Cancer Survivors

Intervention satisfaction will be assessed using the Satisfaction witth Therapy and Therapist Scale-Revised, a 13-item measure with the first 12-items on a five-point scale ranging from 1 "strongly disagree" to 5 "strongly agree." The 13th item (Global Improvement) asks, "How much did the intervention help with your symptoms?" with 5 answer choices ranging from "made things a lot better" (1) to "made things a lot worse" (5). Each of the subscales (Satisfaction With Therapy and Satisfaction With Therapist) range from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater overall satisfaction. A total score is calculated as the sum of the first twelve items, with possible scores from 12 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater overall satisfaction.

Intervention will be evaluated using 3 open-ended questions, including the following: "1) What was the most helpful part of the program?," "2) What was the least helpful part of the program?", and "3) What suggestions do you have for us to help improve the program?"

Treatment feasibility will be assessed by measuring the session attendance rate for each participant.

The Treatment Acceptability Questionnaire is a six-item scale assessing participants' views of an intervention as acceptable, ethical, and effective. Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale (e.g., 1 "very unacceptable" to 7 "very acceptable") and averaged.

Participants' use of intervention strategies will be assessed using a measure developed specific to components of the proposed intervention. Participants will be asked about how frequently treatment strategies discussed in session have been used outside of session since the previous session or last assessment depending on the timing of the questionnaire. A scale ranging from 0 "not at all" to 5 "every day" will be used.

Participants' use of the mobile application will be assessed using a measure developed specific to components of the proposed mobile application. Participants will be asked about how frequently they have used components of the mobile application outside of session since the previous session or last assessment depending on the timing of the questionnaire. A scale ranging from 0 "not at all" to 5 "2 or more times a day" will be used.

Depressive Symptoms will be assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Depression Short Form-8a, an 8-item measure assessing symptoms of depression in the last week. Participants are asked to respond to items (e.g., "I felt sad," "I felt helpless") using a five-point scale ranging from 1 "never" to 5 "always." Items are summed and converted to standardized t-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Higher T-scores indicate higher levels of depression. T-scores of 55 to 60 indicate mild levels of depression, 60 to 70 indicates moderate levels of depression, and greater than 70 indicate severe levels of depression.

Symptoms of Anxiety will be assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Anxiety Short Form-8a, an 8-item measure assessing symptoms of anxiety in the last week. Participants are asked to respond to items (e.g., "I felt nervous," "I felt tense") using a five-point scale ranging from 1 "never" to 5 "always". Total scores are then converted to T-scores. Items are summed and converted to standardized t-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Higher T-scores indicate higher levels of anxiety. T-scores of 55 to 60 indicate mild levels of anxiety, 60 to 70 indicates moderate levels of anxiety, and greater than 70 indicate severe levels of anxiety.

Symptom interference will be assessed using the Illness Intrusiveness Rating Scale (IIRS). The IIRS assesses the extent to which an illness and/ or its treatments interfere with 13 quality of life domains (e.g., health, diet, work, sex life, active recreation). Items are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 "not very much" to 7 "very much." The total score ranges from 7 to 91, where a higher score indicates greater interference.

The Brief Pain Inventory is a 9-item, self-report measure assessing pain severity and interference from pain across important life domains (e.g., general activity, work, relations with others). Participants rate their pain on a scale from 0 "no pain" to 10 "pain as bad as you can imagine." Pain severity is calculated as the average of four items assessing participants' worst, least, current, and average (in the last week) pain on a scale from 0 "no pain" to 10 "worst pain." Pain interference is computed as the average of seven items, which ask about the interference of pain across different life domains (e.g., general activity, mood, relations with other people).

Fatigue will be assessed using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Scale, a 6-item self-report measure of fatigue. Participants are asked to think about the last week when responding to each item (e.g., "In the past 7 days, how run-down did you feel, on average?"). Items are summed and converted to standardized t-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. A higher score indicates greater fatigue. T-scores of 55 to 60 indicate mild levels of fatigue, 60 to 70 indicates moderate levels of fatigue, and greater than 70 indicate severe levels of fatigue.

The International Physical Activity Questionnaire is a seven-item questionnaire that assesses the amount of time participants have spent doing physical activity (e.g., moderate physical activities, vigorous physical activities, walking) in the last seven

The Stanford LCAT is a categorical item that assesses the type of physical activities participants do.

Item 17 is an open-ended question, "was there something in the group today that helped or hindered you?"relationships, comfort level with other group members). Items are rated on a 4-point scale with 1= "strongly disagree" to 4= "strongly agree."

The PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Managing Symptoms - Short Form 4a is a 4-item scale.
