About this study
Official title: Health Behaviors in Adolescent Survivors of Cancer or Similar Illnesses
The purpose of this study is to examine the health behaviors of young adults who have been treated for cancer, leukemia, or similar illnesses. We will also ask you some questions about your family members' and friends' health behaviors. We plan to use the findings from this study to design new programs to help teenage cancer survivors resist doing things that might harm their health.
Read the detailed description
This study proposes to explore cancer-risk behaviors and future behavioral intentions among adolescent cancer survivors (i.e., 14-19 years old) and compare them to their "healthy" peers using population-based normative data. Additionally, it seeks to determine the significant theory-driven covariates related to adolescent survivors' health behaviors, which will aid in the design of future behavioral interventions.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Questionnaire or InterviewBehavioural
Complete a self-report survey once over the telephone or by mail. The questions are about your health beliefs and behaviors, your current health, and your mood. It should not take longer than 45 minutes to complete. About 15 of these people will participate in an additional, short audiotaped interview about sun protection.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To describe the patterns of cancer-risk behaviors for adolescent cancer survivors as compared to population-based normative data of "healthy" adolescents, and to describe relevant theory-driven covariates for adolescent cancer survivors.
Measured: conclusion of study
Secondary outcomes (1)
To examine the role and relative utility of sociodemographics, medical characteristics, theory-driven variables in explaining adolescent cancer survivors' health behaviors.
Measured: conclusion of study
