Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study tests four different methods of educating patients about follow-up care (NCI facing forward, brochure, EXCELS website alone, EXCELS health coaching alone and EXCELS website \& health coaching combination) after cancer treatment ends. While it is known that patients need information to guide follow-up it remains unknown how to best provide this in primary care.
