About this study

In plain language

This study tests a digital tool to help teen and young adult cancer survivors manage symptoms of depression. It looks at which parts of the tool, alone or together, help the most.

Our team has developed a digital intervention that aims to help adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYAs) manage symptoms of depression. This tool includes one psychoeducation component and four components that are based on evidence-based interventions for depression. The goal of this study is to test which component or combination of components meaningfully contribute to improvements in depressive symptoms among AYAs.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
