Cancer Distress Coach Mobile App Randomized Controlled Trial

The Cancer Distress Coach (CDC) mobile app is a symptom management tool for posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) in cancer patients and caregivers. Based largely on "PTSD Coach" from
the National Center for PTSD, the CDC app was redesigned for both iOS and Android platforms
and is tailored specifically to individuals impacted by cancer.

This study aims to evaluate whether CDC app usage influences symptoms of PTSD through a
randomized controlled trial (RCT) where subjects are placed into either the intervention
group or the wait-listed control group for a period of 8 weeks. The CDC app is available as a
free download on the App Store® and on Google Play™.
