Brief Summary

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

This study determines how the threat of the coronavirus has affected the mental health and physical well-being of cancer patients seen at the psychiatric oncology clinic, and how they have coped with any related stress. Questionnaires that assess coping strategies and behaviors for decreasing disease transmission may help researchers create recommendations for future public health crises and pandemics.
