Inclusion Criteria:
- Current age greater than and including 15 and up to and including 25 years of age at
time of consent
- Diagnosis of a first cancer > or = to 14 and up to and including 21 years of age
- At least 6 months post-treatment according to participant's self-report.
- Able to provide informed consent (or parent or legal guardian consent and participant
assent for those participants under 18 years of age)
- Able to speak English. This inclusion criterion is included because study assessments
were designed and validated in English and many of them are not currently available in
other languages. Translation of questionnaires into other languages would require
reestablishing the reliability and validity of these measures. Therefore, participants
must be able to communicate in English to complete the assessments.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Will exclude survivors with severe cognitive impairment that precludes them from being
able to give information consent and/or complete the questionnaires.
