Teens Taking Charge
The intervention is a 12-week multi-component treatment protocol that consists of self-management strategies (e.g., how to deal with stress and treatment related symptoms like pain), information (e.g., common problems associated with treatment and disease) and social support (e.g., monitored discussion boards and narratives in the form of written stories and video clips). It will be delivered on a restricted web-site and through regular contact with a trained coach by means of email and/or telephone using standardized scripts.
