Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS)	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks	The ESAS is a validated 10 item survey index used to assessed symptoms. The total ranges from 0 to 60, with a higher score indicating higher physical symptom burden.
Change in PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Short Form Global Health	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks	This validated 10 item survey captures a person's self assessment of their global physical and global mental health. The possible score ranges from 0 to 20 points in each case. 0 points represent the patient's most severe physical and/or mental impairment, while 20 points represent the best possible state of health.
Change in NCCN Distress Thermometer	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks	The NCCN Distress Thermometer (DT) is a one-item, 11-point Likert scale represented on a visual graphic of a thermometer that ranges from 0 (no distress) to 10 (extreme distress), with which patients indicate their level of distress over the course of the week prior to assessment.
Change in severity of PTSD related symptoms as measured by PTSD Checklist (PCL5)	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks	This validated 20 item measure has been used extensively in research. Scores consist of a total symptom severity score (from 0 to 80) from four subscales: Re-experiencing (items 1-5 - max score = 20), Avoidance (items 6-7 - max score = 8), Negative alterations in cognition and mood (items 8-14 - max score = 28), and Hyper-arousal (items 15-20 - max score = 24). Higher scores represent higher severity.
