RECRUITING

Telehealth Assessment and Skill-Building Intervention for Stroke Caregivers (TASK III)

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

Caring for a family member after a stroke can be very difficult and worsen the physical and mental health of untrained caregivers. The TASK III intervention is a unique, comprehensive caregiver intervention program that enables caregivers to develop the necessary skills to manage care for the survivor, while also taking care of their own health.
