Social Media Perceptions Among Young Adults With Cancer - Online Experiment 2 - NCT07928349

Young adults with cancer experience more loneliness than their non-cancer peers or older cancer survivors. Positive psychology interventions have promise to increase social connectedness; however, evidence-based interventions should be tailored for young adults with cancer and designed for social media. The investigators conducted an online experiment with young adults with cancer (ages 22-39) to examine the most promising message types with personal stories to identify a suite of intervention messages that encourage positive, in-person social interactions with strangers and acquaintances (i.e., weak ties).
