Summary
This study tested an 8-week phone- and app-based program designed to increase hope and reduce life disruption in young adults who have finished cancer treatment. 155 survivors participated in a randomized trial comparing the hope program to a control group. The goal was to see if the program improves hope, quality of life, and is easy to use.
