The Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Patients and Survivors

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: COVID-19 Infection, Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, Malignant Solid Neoplasm

In brief

The study investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the psychological, financial, physical, and social well-being of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors. AYA cancer survivors have inferior long-term survival compared to the general population, and the negative impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic may be even higher in this vulnerable group. The information gained from this study may provide an opportunity to determine the self-reported COVID-19 specific psychological distress in AYA cancer survivors, and may lead to the development of a targeted intervention to improve physical and psychosocial health for AYA cancer patients and survivors.
