Carolyn Taylor: Our paper about the Stronger Together peer mentoring program for patients with Cancer

Carolyn Taylor, Founder and Executive Director of Global Focus on Cancer (GFC), shared an article by PhuongThao D. Le on LinkedIn:

“Our paper about the Stronger Together peer mentoring program for patients with cancer is out!

We showed that it is a promising model to improve mental health and psychosocial outcomes among patients with breast and gynecologic cancer in Vietnam, and can potentially help fill gaps in cancer support interventions in many low- and middle-income countries.

This work was and continues to be a labor of love.

I’m grateful to be in the company of many wonderful friends and colleagues, including HUONG TRAN, Mai Do, Anna Cabanes, Ophira Ginsburg and of course, the incomparable PhuongThao D. Le.

And many, many thanks to the patients, advocates, nurses, staff, and doctors who worked tirelessly to implement the project.”
