This trial is testing a digital toolkit called ASCENT, which was designed specifically for adolescents and young adults who have finished cancer treatment and are struggling with depression. The toolkit includes five different components—one that teaches you about depression after cancer, and four others based on proven techniques like positive psychology, mindfulness, and coping skills. Researchers want to figure out which combination of these components works best to help reduce depression symptoms.
Many young cancer survivors experience depression after treatment ends, but they may not have access to mental health care that understands their unique situation. This trial exists to find out which elements of this digital toolkit actually help, so that future survivors can get the most effective support possible.

You will use the ASCENT app on your smartphone over a period of time, working through different combinations of the toolkit's components. Some participants will use just the educational component, while others will also use tools focused on mindfulness, positive psychology, or coping skills. You'll be able to engage with the app at your own pace, and researchers will check in periodically to see how you're doing and whether the toolkit is helping with your depression symptoms.
