Outcomes

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.

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.

Time frame: 12 months

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.

Time frame: 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.

Scored responses will allow for quantitative analysis of differences within and between the cohorts of patients

Time frame: 12 months

A qualitative evaluation of program feedback will serve to improve the care provided in the REACH for Survivorship clinic

This data will be evaluated qualitatively for trends.

Time frame: 12 months
