Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies the effectiveness of a newly developed survivorship mobile application (app) designed for survivors, or their caregivers, of childhood cancer to help them better navigate long-term follow-up care. The survivorship app provides survivors access to their treatment history and follow-up recommendations, improves knowledge of their diagnosis, treatment, risks, and recommended follow-up care by using a message notification. The ability to quickly connect and establish care planning may enhance adherence to recommended follow-up.

Conditions

Childhood Cancer; Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm; Malignant Solid Neoplasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in knowledge questionnaire score

  The knowledge of the participant will be measured using a 12-item questionnaire that assesses the awareness of their treatment and health issues in four categories: (1) diagnosis, (2) treatment, (3) risks, and (4) recommended follow-up. A scoring system has been devised which will give a score to each questionnaire out of 100 possible points. The change in participants knowledge scores \>=20 points from baseline will be reported.

  Up to 4 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• System usability scale (SUS) score > 68

  Up to 2 months

Study Arms (1)

Survivorship Mobile Application

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants are seen in the survivorship clinic and receive education about potential late effects and the survivorship application on study. Participants enrolled in this study will be asked to complete two self-administered questionnaires at 4 time points. Questionnaires will be designed and made available electronically, to be completed on the participant's personal mobile device (e.g., mobile phone).
