## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 12-25 years old) with cancer are at high risk for elevated distress and
poorer mental health outcomes than their peers. Studies have shown that, in particular, Latinos with cancer are
at risk for increased psychosocial burden, lower quality of life, and higher depressive symptoms when
compared to their non-Latino counterparts. PRISM (Promoting Resilience in Stress Management) is an
intervention built on the premise that promoting resilience resources will reduce distress and improve
outcomes. It is comprised of four modules: Stress Management, Goal Setting, Catching Negative Self-Talk,
and Benefit Finding. I propose to take the first steps toward a proper cultural adaptation of PRISM as a
resilience building program for Spanish-speaking AYAs with cancer. Specifically, I aim to translate the PRISM
intervention into Spanish, solicit and compile professional community partner input, and pilot PRISM-Spanish
in think aloud protocols with Latino AYAs for iterative feedback. This research has strong potential to reduce
the distress that is common and unchecked in Latino AYAs with cancer.
