Pillars4Life Randomized Control Trial
This study aims to explore whether cancer patients can benefit from completing the
Pillars4Life online coping program. This randomized control trial will have half its subject
completing the program and the other half receiving standard care in order to measure
whether the program is beneficial in dealing with stress, anxiety, and particularly chronic
pain that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
Pillars4Life online coping program. This randomized control trial will have half its subject

pain that often accompany a cancer diagnosis.
Subjects will complete three online surveys as part of the study. Each subject who completes
the first survey will be randomized to either the control group who receive standard care
from their care team or to complete the 9-week Pillars4Life curriculum. Subjects completing
the Pillars4Life program will select a course day/time that works for them from those
offered. Each week the program will send an email approximately 15 minutes before class time
with a link. Subjects will click the link to go to the "classroom," where they will enter
their name and phone number. The program will call the number provided and the subject will
listen to the audio over the phone, while watching the guide and activities in the virtual
classroom on their computer. Each class will last about an hour.
All subjects will complete two additional surveys, at approximately 9 weeks and 18 weeks
after enrolling in the study.
