Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This feasibility study will determine the psychometric adequacy of a newly developed instrument - Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Needs Assessment Questionnaire (CCSS-NAQ). Additionally, the study will explore the feasibility of selected study methods -- sample selection, length of time to complete recruitment, and response rates - in order to inform a larger national periodic survey of adult survivors' health related needs

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will focus on the following primary and secondary objectives:

1. Examine the construct validity, short-term stability, internal consistency and item-response performance of a health-related needs assessment self-report instrument for adult childhood cancer survivors
2. Inform future sample stratification by over-sampling minority and rural-dwelling survivors to enhance the heterogeneity of the respondent pool;
3. Describe the met and unmet health-related needs and their covariates in a large, stratified, random sample of childhood cancer survivors;
4. Evaluate the sample selection methods, length of time to complete recruitment, and response rates in the study sample.
