Summary
This study tests an online program called Survivor's Journey+ for teens and young adults (ages 15-25) who survived a pediatric brain tumor. The program teaches problem-solving and coping skills through weekly online coaching. Researchers want to see if it improves quality of life and reduces anxiety or depression compared to just providing online resources. About 72 survivors and their caregivers will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Online problem-solving and coping skills program (Survivor's Journey+)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a practical, accessible way to improve quality of life and emotional well-being for young brain tumor survivors and their families.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires time and internet access, and benefits may be modest.
