Quality of Friendships in Children With Neurofibromatosis

Completed

Conditions studied: Neurofibromatosis

In brief

The aim of this study is to determine if children with a higher disease severity have lower quality friendships than children who are less severely affected and children who are unaffected. Researchers will test the hypothesis that the quality of friendships is inversely related to their disease severity. Specific Aims: 1. To use the FQQ to determine if the quality of friendships in children with NF1 is lower than the quality of friendships in unaffected children. 2. To use a disease severity scale and the FQQ to determine if children who are less severely affected have higher friendship qualities than children who are more severely affected.
