A Randomized Pilot Trial of a Positive Affect Skills Intervention (LILAC) for Women with Metastatic Breast Cancer

ConclusionsThe LILAC intervention, regardless of delivery method, shows feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy for promoting psychological well‐being in women with metastatic breast cancer. This research provides support for a larger randomized trial to test more definitively the potential benefits of LILAC. A strength of the LILAC intervention includes its innovative focus on positive affect. The efficacy of the online delivery suggests the potential for widespread internet dissemination.
