Additional Details

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness (FAA) of recruitment methods, study population, and waitlist design to finalize the protocol of FearLess, a psychological intervention targeting fear of cancer recurrence in primary malignant brain tumor patients and caregivers. Eligible participants (N=112) will be randomized to either: 1) immediate intervention or 2) delayed treatment control. Assessments will take place at baseline, Week 12, and Week 26.
