What this research studies
This research focuses on developing and testing a personalized program designed to support adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors in managing their long-term health outcomes. The program aims to enhance access to survivorship resources, improve health literacy, and foster self-management skills through a digital platform and telehealth services. Participants will engage with an interactive mobile app and website, which will provide tailored support and resources, while also receiving additional telehealth care if needed. The study will compare this new program against a control group receiving standard resources to evaluate its effectiveness.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adolescent and young adult individuals who have survived cancer and are seeking support in managing their ongoing health needs.
Not a fit: Patients who are not cancer survivors or those who do not fall within the adolescent and young adult age range may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve the health management and quality of life for young cancer survivors.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success with similar technology-based interventions for cancer survivors, indicating a promising approach for this population.
