This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

A multi-site, single-blinded, parallel, randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel model of in-home palliative care for dementia patients and their family caregivers.
