Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Depressive Symptoms Sent via Text for the Improvement of Depression in Post-treatment Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancer Survivors, MINDSET Trial

Trial Status: approved

This clinical trial studies whether a mindfulness-based intervention for depressive symptoms sent via text (MINDSET) works to improve symptoms of depression in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors who are post-treatment. Post-treatment cancer survivors are at a high risk for developing symptoms of depression. When left untreated, high levels of depressive symptoms can increase the risk of the cancer coming back or death. The MINDSET intervention sends text messages to a personal device containing audio recordings of a mindfulness-based intervention. The recordings encourage listeners to have an increased awareness of the present and help change their behavior by changing the way they think and feel about certain things, which may improve symptoms of depression.
