INSPIRE: Internet and Social-media Program With Information and Resources for Long-Term Cancer Survivors Who Underwent Stem Cell Transplant (INSPIRE)
Cancer Survivor, Depression, Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Cancer Survivor focused on measuring stem cell transplant, cancer survivors, internet, social media, distress, health care adherence
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Received a transplant at a consortium center for a hematologic malignancy or myelodysplasia
- Currently 2-10 years after first HCT
Exclusion Criteria:
- Does not have internet and email access; note that survivors otherwise eligible, but excluded from full study participation because of this exclusion, will be asked to fill out a mailed copy of the baseline assessment for use in secondary aims analyses; they will be sent an information form and a copy of the tailored 'My Health Action Plan' health care guideline for transplant survivors also provided to randomized participants
- English insufficient to complete baseline patient-reported outcomes (PRO) assessments
- Has received treatment for a recurrent or 2nd cancer that required > surgical excision in the past 2 years or did not have a hematologic malignancy or myelodysplasia diagnosis or did not receive a first transplant between 2-10 years before approach for the study; (these participants will be ineligible for randomization, but will have intervention site access if they complete baseline PRO assessment)
- Scores 20 or above on the patient health questionnaire (PHQ)-8 depression measure (indicating severe depression); these participants will be contacted by a study psychologist to evaluate and provide resources to address their needs (2% of enrollees in our previous study); they will be ineligible for randomization, but will have intervention site access if they complete baseline PRO assessment
- Residing in an institution or other living situation where health care decisions are not made by the participant (e.g., hospitalized, prisoners, living in a rehabilitation facility)
- Does not complete baseline PRO assessment items required to determine stratification or whether the survivor meets inclusion and exclusion criteria

Participants receive full access to the INSPIRE internet site comprising an individually tailored program with a greeting home page with links to each target area, a 'My Health Action Plan' health care guideline for transplant survivors, self-care tips and tool pages for each complication and major issues for HCT survivors, a section for each complication (mood, energy, heart health, strengthening bones, second cancers), resource pages, opportunities to send secure messages with questions or comments on any topic, opportunities to request additional assistance or information, mobile texting options, and social media links (Twitter/Facebook/Pinterest) maintained and monitored by the Social Media Specialist.
Participants receive annotated website links to existing transplant and cancer survivor sites, followed by delayed access to the INSPIRE internet program after 1 year.
