In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Our aim for this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability and explore potential outcomes of the adapted FOCUS On Us intervention in a two-arm pilot trial. The investigators will randomize 80 sexual and/or gender minority (SGM; e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc.) cancer patients and their โ‰ฅ80 informal caregivers (total Nโ‰ฅ160) to either FOCUS On Us (adapted from the evidence-based FOCUS program) or a waitlist control.
