Needs Assessment Survey in Childhood Cancer Survivors and Their Parents


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.


A mailed survey will be conducted that will assess the health behaviors (diet, exercise, and
tobacco-use) of childhood cancer survivors, and the behaviors of identified "primary
caregivers" (see definition under inclusion criteria). In addition, these surveys will
assess awareness of longterm health risks, quality of life (QOL), strength of the
child-caregiver bond, body image, body weight status, functional status, barriers to
lifestyle change, and interest in various lifestyle interventions and potential channels for
delivery. Mailed surveys (with telephone follow-up) will be sent to MDACC childhood cancer
survivors diagnosed from 1998 - 2007 who are survivors of central nervous system (CNS)
tumors, sarcomas, lymphoma or leukemia.
