This federal Project Grant award of $165,240 from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) under CFDA 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health supports the development and pilot testing of a novel digital mindfulness-based intervention for depressive symptoms in post-treatment cancer patients. The award recipient, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, will first develop a daily 15-minute audio mindfulness intervention delivered via text message (MINDSET) for this population. They will then conduct a single-arm pilot study to refine the intervention based on participant feedback. Finally, the award will fund a randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of MINDSET compared to enhanced usual care. The findings from this research are intended to provide data for a future larger efficacy trial to evaluate the intervention's impact on reducing depressive symptoms in post-treatment cancer patients.
