Official title
Utilizing a Mobile App to Help Survivors of Childhood Cancer Navigate Long-Term Follow-Up Care
Overview
This clinical trial studies the effectiveness of a newly developed survivorship mobile application (app) designed for survivors, or their caregivers, of childhood cancer to help them better navigate long-term follow-up care. The survivorship app provides survivors access to their treatment history and follow-up recommendations, improves knowledge of their diagnosis, treatment, risks, and recommended follow-up care by using a message notification. The ability to quickly connect and establish care planning may enhance adherence to recommended follow-up.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the difference in survivor/caregiver knowledge and understanding of diagnosis, treatment information, and follow-up needs using the survivorship app.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To validate the usability and effectiveness of the survivorship mobile application.
OUTLINE:
Participants are seen in the survivorship clinic and receive education about potential late effects and the survivorship application on study. Participants then use the survivorship app for 4 months on study.
