Project description
The aim of this project is to develop and evaluate a self-managed web program (iFOCUS) aimed at psychosocial and educational support for people with advanced cancer and their family caregivers. The program is tested on a small scale for acceptability and usability, after which the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness compared to standard care are evaluated in an international randomized controlled trial.
