About

The purpose of this study is to adapt a web-based platform to deliver a group intervention for young adult cancer survivors.

Full description

In the first part of this study, the investigators adapted a website to deliver an evidence-based intervention for improving HRQOL for young adult cancer survivors, and then conducted usability testing sessions with young adult cancer survivors to get feedback on the website.
