First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study uses online surveys to explore whether cancer patients and their family members across the European Union have equal access to mental health screening and psychological support. Researchers will analyze responses from 2,000 participants to identify disparities, barriers, and facilitators. The goal is to understand where and why gaps exist, not to test a treatment or intervention.
