About the Study
The University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center is running a mobile app study to see how it impacts anxiety in cancer survivors. We are asking people who have been diagnosed with cancer and finished primary treatment if they would like to use a mobile app for mindfulness meditation to see if it impacts anxiety.
Interested participants will be asked to follow the link for anxiety to participate. Upon enrollment, you will randomly be assigned to begin using the mobile app either immediately or after eight weeks. You will be asked to complete online questionnaires about your well-being upon your initial enrollment, 8 weeks later, and 16 weeks later.
This study is no longer enrolling people.
