Improving Health-Promoting Behaviors in Adolescent Cancer Survivors Using AWAKE: A Feasibility Trial

Improving Health-Promoting Behaviors in Adolescent Cancer Survivors Using AWAKE: A Feasibility Trial

A behavioral intervention called Achieving Wellness After Kancer in Early Life (AWAKE) focused on increasing hope in order to improve quality of life and health-promoting behaviors in survivors of young adult cancer. The goals of this project are to adapt the AWAKE platform into an intervention acceptable for use in adolescent cancer survivors and their guardians in order to improve survivors' hope, quality of life, and health-promoting behaviors, and to generate the preliminary data needed for a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of the AWAKE platform in this population.
