Interventions
The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system will provide automated telephone monitoring of PC survivor symptoms and goals for symptom reduction, based on a patient empowerment approach.
Personally tailored newsletters will incorporate elements of CBT to improve survivors' identification with the material, confidence/self-efficacy in symptom management, and to reduce common cognitive distortions related to successful implementation of behavior change. Information collected during automated phone assessments will be used to construct tailored newsletters, which will be sent following each automated call.
