Childhood Cancer Survivor Survey

Completed

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

Objectives: 1. To explore current lifestyle practices, health status, and quality of life among childhood cancer survivors and parent/guardians who are identified as "primary caregivers." 2. To explore childhood cancer survivors' and "primary caregivers'" awareness of future health risks. 3. To explore interest in various lifestyle interventions and delivery channels among childhood cancer survivors and their "primary caregivers." 4. To explore factors which may serve as mediators or moderators of future lifestyle interventions that target childhood cancer survivors and their "primary caregivers," e.g., strength of the caregiver-child bond, geographic distance from one another, and level of education.
