Who Enrolls in an Online Cancer Survivorship Program? Reach of the INSPIRE Randomized Controlled Trial for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Survivors.

ABSTRACT: The internet can be a valuable tool in delivering survivorship care to hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) cancer survivors. We describe the reach of INSPIRE, an Internet and social media-based randomized controlled trial, to address healthcare and psychosocial needs of HCT survivors. All survivors 2-10 years after HCT for hematologic malignancy or myelodysplasia from 6 transplantation centers in the US were approached by mail and follow-up calls. Eligible participants had access to the Internet, an email address, and did not have active disease in the past 2 years. We used logistic regression to determine characteristics of eligible survivors who were more or less likely to enroll. Of 2578 eligible HCT survivors, 1065 (41%) enrolled in the study. The mean age of enrollees was 56.3 ±
