Detailed Description

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

Despite increased risk for morbidity and mortality related to cancer treatment, over half of young adult survivors of childhood cancer do not engage in the recommended healthcare designed to detect late effects and secondary cancers. There is a scarcity of data on adherence to survivor-focused healthcare, particularly at the critical transition from pediatrics to adult care. In order to improve transition outcomes, the investigators need to create media to educate survivors about need for adherence to adult survivor healthcare.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of electronic educational materials on AYA survivors' knowledge about late effects, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and intentions to engage in lifelong survivor care.

Electronic educational material

Participants in the trial included young adult survivors of childhood cancer. Participants completed an online pre-test survey via REDCap. After the pre-test is completed, participants review electronic media in REDCap. Study staff confirmed review of material and scheduled a post-test survey to be competed in REDCap two weeks after material is reviewed.
