Decision Making, Daily Experiences, and Brain Activity in Young Adult Women

Study Overview

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

The investigators are doing a study of women with and without binge-eating disorder to learn more about what happens when people engage in everyday decision-making activities. The investigators are interested in learning more about brain activity during everyday decision-making and how everyday decision-making relates to a variety of daily experiences. Examples of everyday decisions include deciding which product to buy, deciding what to eat for a snack, and deciding how to spend free time.
