What is being tested?
The SPHERE trial is testing a Survivorship Care Plan-Personal Health Record (SCP-PHR) to see how effective it is and how well it can be implemented. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive this plan as part of an effectiveness study combined with a detailed analysis of its implementation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves using a health record system rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience issues related to the usability of the system or emotional impacts from engaging with their survivorship information.
