+Outcome measures
Primary outcomes
- Knowledge gained by attending a multispecialty Survivorship Clinic which will be measured by comparison of self report with medical record data in both cross-sectional and longitudinal approach. [12 months]: In addition to data from patient interviews, a review of medical records will include general patient demographic data as well as data regarding cancer diagnosis, treatment and ongoing follow-up care.
Secondary outcomes
- Characterizing how the initial consultation in a specialized clinic impacts childhood cancer survivors' knowledge of their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and risk of late effects by comparing patient's understanding among 3 sampled timepoints. [pre-clinic and a post-clinic interviews at 1 and 3 months.]
- An analysis of differences in relative levels of recommended screening for late effects that childhood cancer survivors have received based on the type of their long-term follow-up care comparing medical records against Survivorship Care Plan. [12 months]: Scored responses will allow for quantitative analysis of differences within and between the cohorts of patients
- A qualitative evaluation of program feedback will serve to improve the care provided in the REACH for Survivorship clinic [12 months]: This data will be evaluated qualitatively for trends.
