For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Low Need Benchmark or Follow-up | In the low need benchmark or follow-up group, participants received baseline and 13-week assessments (about 30-40 minutes) over the telephone. A brief assessment (about 5 minutes) was done at week 4 over the telephone to assess symptoms. Approximately 35% of all participants were in this group. | 0 | None | 0 | 71 | 0 | 71 | View |
| High Need A-SMH or TIP-C | Participants were mailed the printed Symptom Management and Survivorship Handbook (SMSH). The Group A participant was called every week for 4 weeks to ask about symptoms and suggest strategies from the SMSH to relieve symptoms. Calls were approximately 10 minutes. After 4 weeks, participants were re-randomized to continue in SMSH for 8 more weeks or to add Telephone Interpersonal Counseling (TIP-C) Intervention for the subsequent 8 weeks. If the TIP-C was added, the counselor called the participant once per week for about 35-40 minutes to assess and discuss strategies for managing symptoms, provide survivorship education, and discuss interpersonal relationships, communication, and social support. At week 13, the participant was called to complete the second assessment. Telephone Interpersonal Counseling (TIP-C): See arm/group descriptions | 1 | None | 0 | 282 | 0 | 282 | View |
| High Need B-TIP-C+SMH | Participant was called every week for the first 8 weeks using a combination of TIP-C and SMSH. The counselor assessed and discussed interpersonal relationships, communication, social support, managing symptoms, and survivorship. At the end of 8 weeks, the final 4 calls were focused on the SMSH protocol. At week 13, the second assessment was conducted.
