Summary

This study tests a communication coaching program for adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (ages 18-35) who have finished treatment at least a year ago. Participants complete online sessions and AI coaching to improve how they talk with peers. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and whether it reduces anxiety, depression, and social isolation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Communication coaching intervention (asynchronous sessions and AI Yoodli coach)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help young cancer survivors feel more confident and less anxious when talking with friends.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program relies on self-reported outcomes and may not show clear benefits.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
