Study Summary

The investigators have developed an innovative mobile health (mHealth) coping skills training protocol, mCOPE, that is adapted to meet the multiple symptom needs and stage-of-life challenges faced by young and middle-aged adults with cancer, and delivered in a convenient and flexible format that does not incur further demands. Young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients who report pain, fatigue, and psychological distress will be invited to participate in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: mCOPE or standard care. mCOPE will teach patients coping skills to manage their cancer-related symptoms (pain, fatigue and distress) in the context of unique age-related challenges; session content will be tailored based on participants' report. mCOPE sessions will be delivered via videoconferencing to the patient in his/her own environment and scheduled at times that are convenient to the patient. mHealth technology, including a mobile app, will be used to capture daily symptom and coping skills use data, allowing the study team to provide personalized real-time feedback to patients. Investigators want to understand the impact of the mCOPE intervention delivered to young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients with pain, fatigue, and distress. mCOPE is expected to lead to reduced symptom severity and improved quality of life. Study aims include: testing the efficacy of mCOPE for improving symptoms and quality of life and examining improved self-efficacy for symptom management as a mediator of symptom severity.

Primary Outcome

Pain Severity will be assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) by asking patients about worst, least, average and now pain on a 0 = no pain to 10 = pain as bad as you can imagine.
