Feasibility and acceptability of a group-based intervention to support LGBTQ+ cancer survivors: QT cancer StoryListening

BACKGROUND: We adapted a previously-successful intervention, StoryListening, to a group setting for LGBTQ+ cancer survivors. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the QT (Queer/Trans) Cancer StoryListening Workshop. METHODS: We conducted a single-arm pilot feasibility trial of QT Cancer StoryListening for LGBTQ+ cancer survivors in September, 2025. Feasibility was assessed by enrollment and questionnaire completion data. Acceptability was evaluated using self-report questionnaires with both closed-ended and open-ended items. We used a mixed methods analytic approach, including both descriptive statistics and deductive thematic content analysis. RESULTS: Twelve individuals responded with interest in 5 wk of community outreach; 10 (83%) attended the workshop and 8 completed follow-up questionnaires (80%). Participants identified no emotional or logistical difficulty in participating and all identified value, particularly around the community aspect of the workshop. LGBTQ+ cancer survivors lack specifically-tailored support. CONCLUSION: StoryListening is a brief, scalable intervention that is both feasible and acceptable to LGBTQ+ cancer survivors.
