We are seeking volunteers for a research study.

What's the study?

Relationships and social support can greatly impact young adult cancer survivors’ health and well-being, and many cancer survivors already engage in music therapy (MT) to help with cancer-related anxiety and pain. We are wondering if and how MT might also help with relationship challenges.

The purposes of the study are to:

• Learn about young adult cancer survivors’ perspectives on their relationship challenges and when and why they might want help from a therapist or counselor to cope with these types of challenges
• Explore what young adult cancer survivors and music therapists think about using music experiences to help young adult cancer survivors enhance their relationships

What will I be asked to do?

The study is entirely online (Teams meetings) and will involve:

• One brief survey (10 minutes max)
• One 1:1 recorded interview (approximately one hour)

Who may qualify?

• Young adult cancer survivors (initial cancer diagnosis between 18-39 years, regardless of your current treatment status)
• Board-certified music therapists (MT-BC)
