We conducted a qualitative study in Buyende District, Uganda, using framework analysis. Data collection included interviews with 24 traditional healers, 20 faith healers, and 23 biomedical providers, plus 4 focus group discussions.

Background: Pediatric and adolescent/young adult (AYA) cancer patients face profound psychological challenges, exacerbated by limited access to continuous mental health support. While conventional therapeutic interventions often follow structured protocols, the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots to provide continuous conversational support remains unexplored. This study evaluates the feasibility and impact of AI chatbots in alleviating psychological distress and enhancing treatment engagement in this vulnerable population.

Background: Research has demonstrated that survival of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is superior following treatment at specialized cancer centers (SCCs), such as NCI-designated Cancer Centers or Children's Oncology Group sites. However, a minority of newly diagnosed AYAs with ALL receive care at SCCs. We conducted a qualitative study to better understand provider and policy expert perspectives on this discrepancy and to identify barriers and potential solutions to improving access to SCCs for AYAs with ALL.

This study examines decision regret levels and its relationship with quality of life, and the impact of mindfulness awareness and self-compassion on this relationship among early-stage breast cancer patients in post-treatment survivorship.

Background: Patients with chronic pain on long-term opioid therapy often face barriers to accessing effective nonpharmacological treatments, including the burden of multiple sessions, lack of trained clinicians, and travel time. Empowered Relief (ER), a 2-hour, single-session pain relief skills class, can improve pain and quality of life among patients with chronic pain when delivered in person or virtually.
Objective: This study examined the impact of Zoom-delivered ER among people with chronic pain on long-term opioid therapy.
