Development Of a Virtual Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) Platform and Mobile Health App

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.
