Funded Activity Summary

The internet is increasingly utilised by people affected by cancer to obtain information and support. However, to date no randomised controlled study has evaluated the effectiveness of a structured online self-help therapeutic program. Therefore, the present study aims to examine how helpful 'iCanCope' is, an interactive online 6-week self-help coping program, compared to online information only, in improving distress, coping and quality of life after cancer diagnosis.
