The principal investigators' ongoing work suggests hope is a target for intervention to improve quality of life (QoL) and reduce anxiety and depression (A/D) among adolescents/young adults (AYA). No study to the investigators' knowledge has evaluated the promising impact of hope interventions in AYA cancer patients. To address this gap, the investigators will expand the investigators' prior research on hope, A/D, and QoL to AYA receiving care across three diverse healthcare systems. Patients will be approached for participation within 4 weeks of their initial/relapse cancer diagnosis. Eligible patients (and the parent/caregiver for minor patients) will be approached in a private area of the clinic or hospital room to explain the research aims and informed consent process. After obtaining informed consent/assent (from parents if patients are under 18, from AYA if patient is 18 or older), participants (patients) will utilize an iPad to complete measures via Redcap.
