Official title
Impacts of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic on Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Patients and Survivors
About this study
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the self-reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) specific psychological distress in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors diagnosed between the ages of 15 to 39 and are currently between the ages of 18 to 39.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the COVID-19 specific health care utilization, health behavior, financial and social disruptions, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
II. To determine associations between patient demographic and treatment-related variables with COVID-19 specific psychological distress, healthcare utilization, health behavior, financial and social disruptions, and HRQoL.
III. To determine associations between resilience factors (i.e., social support, perceived benefits under times of stress, and the ability to manage stress) with self-reported COVID-19 specific psychological distress, healthcare utilization, health behavior, financial and social disruptions, and HRQoL.
IV. To determine the changes in COVID-19 specific psychosocial distress, healthcare utilization, health behavior, financial, and social disruptions.
OUTLINE:
Patients and survivors complete a survey online over 20-30 minutes at baseline about COVID-19 specific psychological distress, health care utilization, health behavior, social and financial disruptions, HRQoL, their social support, perceived benefits under times of stress, and the ability to manage stress. Patients and survivors may be contacted again at 6 months and 1 year for COVID-19 research.
