Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Decrease in psychological stress
Time Frame: 12 months
Both groups will receive a full assessment, referral information, and resources. Only the intervention group will have the option of immediately sending their contact information to a counselor/mental health provider and receive a tailored feedback report with specific recommendations about managing their psychological and social needs, and provide education about ways to improve their quality of life. We anticipate that distressed subjects assigned to the Intervention Group will exhibit larger decreases in psychological distress when compared against the Control Group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Reduced distress(12 months)
