Assessment, Development, and Application of Positive Psychological Theory and Science for Cancer (ADAPPTS-C)

This project aims to (1) develop new item banks for positive psychological functioning (PPF) to augment and expand the existing PROMIS item banks, and (2) to explore the utility of the PPF banks across the cancer care continuum using multiple assessments with a heterogeneous group of cancer patients and survivors. Results will lead to further refinement of innovative measures of PPF and guide development of future interventions to minimize the adverse impact of cancer and enhance adaptive functioning.
