Summary
This pilot trial studies a peer mentoring and online self-management program to see how well it works in promoting follow-up care self-management in younger childhood cancer survivors. Childhood cancer survivors require lifelong follow-up care to identify, monitor, and treat medical and psychosocial late effects stemming from their cancer, its treatment, and lifestyle factors. A peer mentoring program + self-management may improve disease knowledge, health motivation, problem-solving skills, stress management, and communication with caregivers and providers in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
PEER MENTOR ELIGIBILITY:
- Age 21-29
- At least 1.5 years from treatment
- Self-reported primary responsibility for care and "complete readiness" using the Readiness for Transition Questionnaire
PATIENT ELIGIBILITY:
- Age 18-25
- At least 1.5 years from treatment
- Currently does not independently self-manage follow-up care according to self-report to assume total responsibility for care (i.e., reports low readiness [score of 1 or 2 out of 4] OR scores <3 on any of the 10-item responsibility scale from the Readiness for Transition Questionnaire)
Exclusion Criteria
PATIENT EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Physician- or self-reported cognitive delay or impairment that would prevent self-management of healthcare
