This study generates information on the feasibility and acceptability of a 3-month ecological momentary assessment (EMA) protocol to assess chronic pain and opioid use in adolescent and young adult (AYA) sarcoma survivors.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 3-month EMA protocol in AYA sarcoma survivors. II. Quantify variability in pain and opioid use over a 3-month period for AYA sarcoma survivors. III. Identify associations between biopsychosocial mechanisms (e.g., pain beliefs, worry) and pain and opioid use outcomes. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Patients complete baseline questionnaires, daily EMA surveys and an interview on study.
