WRITE Symptoms Study

PI: Heidi Donovan, PhD, RN
Funding Source: National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Nursing Research
Researchers: Mary Roberge, BSN, RN
The aim of the WRITE Study was to improve symptoms, patient-health care provider communication, and quality-of-life among women with recurrent ovarian cancer. WRITE Symptoms was offered in two formats: (1) nurse-delivered (through interactions with a study nurse) and (2) self-directed (through an interactive computer module). The goal of the WRITE Symptoms Study was to determine whether these educational programs can improve symptoms and quality-of-life for women with recurrent ovarian cancer.
