Study Summary

To test the efficacy of FACE-TC on key outcomes, the investigators propose using an intent-to-treat, longitudinal, prospective, multi-site, randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. Adolescents with cancer, aged 14 up to 20 years, and their families (N=130 dyads; N=260 participants) will be recruited and randomized to FACE-TC or Treatment as Usual (TAU) control. Participants will complete standardized questionnaires at baseline and 3, 6, 12, and 18 months post-intervention. Our goal is to assess the extent to which FACE-TC helps adolescents and young adults with cancer and their families: (1) reach and maintain better congruence in treatment preferences over time; (2) improve their quality of life; and (3) document goals of care and advance directives earlier in the course of their potentially life limiting illness.

Primary Outcome

Statement of Treatment Preferences documented adolescents' goals of care and families' understanding. Situations were: (1) prolonged hospital stay with ongoing medical intervention and low chance of survival; (2) treatments extend life by no more than 2-3 months with side-effects; (3) physical impairment; and (4) mental impairment. Choices for the four situations were "to continue all treatments …", "to stop all efforts to keep me alive…", or "do not know." Responses for data analysis were recod
