Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in Aphasia

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 proposed research is relevant to public health because stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability among older adults and communication impairments resulting from stroke have a significant negative impact on quality of life. By seeking to better understand post-stroke aphasia, this project lays the groundwork for development of new interventions, and aligns with NIDCD's priority areas 1 (understanding normal function), 2 (understanding diseases), and 3 (improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention).
