EMBody - Exploring Mindsets about the Body
Exploring Mindsets about the Body (EMBody) is a new digital tool to support the health and wellbeing of young cancer survivors. Building on pioneering work by Dr Lauren Heathcote, EMBody helps young cancer survivors identify and use ‘mindsets’ that are most helpful for life after finishing cancer treatment.
EMBody was co-created with young cancer survivors, paediatric oncologists with decades of clinical experience, and documentary filmmakers.
We are now conducting a Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) to study the effectiveness of EMBody in young cancer survivors across the UK.
Are you a cancer survivor aged 16-25 years? Interested in testing EMBody? Complete our screening survey to find out if you are eligible to participate in the EMBody Study. Get in touch at embody-study@kcl.ac.uk to learn more about how you can help with the research.
