Pilot Study Of Primary And Secondary Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Among Survivors Of Childhood Cancer
Completed
Conditions studied: ADHD, Cancer
In brief
This is a pilot study that will be an exploratory investigation of the rate of occurrence of ADHD/S-ADHD in adolescent cancer survivors. The procedures that will be used for identifying attention problem symptoms, determining the frequency and severity of such symptoms, and characterizing the level of impairment resulting from the symptoms are novel to pediatric oncology research.This pilot study will draw from the approach used in traumatic brain injury research of post-injury effects to illuminate more clearly the nature of attentional late effects experienced by survivors of childhood cancer.
