The right support for the right person, at the right time: Real-world implementation of a stepped care, interdisciplinary post-radiation rehabilitation program for survivors of head and neck cancer

This presentation offered insights into Sydney Wasserman’s PhD thesis work, highlighting the background that brought this project to where it is today and the proposed work for this implementation study. The study has two objectives: 1) To finalize the co-design of a novel stepped care rehabilitation intervention, guided by the ORBIT (Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials) intervention development framework, to increase access to interdisciplinary survivorship rehabilitation support for head and neck cancer patients (TEMPO-ORL: which stands for Tailored, wEb-based, self-Management and Physical activity program - Oto-Rhino-Laryngology), and 2) To evaluate the implementability (i.e., feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity) of TEMPO-ORL.
