Aktiv komparator: Kontrolgruppe
|
The control group is designed to control for the potential effects on outcomes of time, attention and computer use during the intervention.
In addition to standard medical care, adolescents in the attention control group will be provided with access to a self-guided patient education study website, which will have two components: basic patient educational materials about Cancer ("Cancer Resource Centre") and online assessments.

Eksperimentel: Overtagelse af forsøgsgruppe
|
n addition to standard medical care, adolescents in the experimental group will receive the "Taking Charge: Managing Cancer Online" Internet self-management program.
