Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial of a web-based informational intervention (UMFollowUp) for adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer to improve cancer knowledge and psychosocial functioning.

Detailed description

Individuals randomly assigned to the control group will receive standard of care for the duration of their participation. This means they will continue to receive information regarding their diagnosis, treatments and ongoing health needs from their provider (no access to website). Individuals randomly assigned to the treatment group will receive access to UMFollowUp, a secure, HIPAA-compliant website. All participants will be asked to complete paper-and-pencil surveys at baseline and 9 months later to determine the impact of the web-based intervention.
