Supportive care in the digital age [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Allison Boyes (Principal investigator)

Brief description Cancer survivors consider talking to someone who has been through a similar experience to be an important part of ideal cancer care. With everday use of the internet increasing, this study will test if an online one-to-one peer support program leads to benefits for haematological cancer survivors. If effective, it would improve access to peer support services among survivors in rural and remote regions, and could be adapted to other cancer types and health conditions.
