This pilot clinical trial is intended to compare the effect of a psychosocial support tool for young adult (YA)cancer survivors - including high-quality information about their cancer combined with evidence-based psychosocial support - to a support tool providing cancer-specific information alone (minus psychosocial modules). This tool, called Thrive Track, will be for YA patients aged 20-39 with thyroid, melanoma, or testicular cancer. Young adult survivors frequently experience persistent worry and distress that can interfere with coping and reduce quality of life. They are also particularly vulnerable to the emotional impact of cancer and may not have adequate support to manage these concerns. The enhanced version of Thrive Track includes personalized emotional support content and strategies designed to help patients better manage worry and distress. Adding these emotional support tools may provide greater benefit than survivorship education alone in strengthening young adult survivors' ability to manage their emotional well-being.
