Summary

The goal of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of the "Managing Your Health" online self-management skills+peer mentoring intervention that focuses on overcoming survivor barriers to self-management of their survivorship care. We will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the intervention versus usual care with adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer ages 18-25 years. Participants will complete survey measures at baseline, Time 2 (about 2 months after baseline), Time 3 (about 5 months after baseline), and Time 4 (about 12 months after baseline).
