The survey has 16 questions, with responses on a 5 point scale ranging from "strongly agree" (1) to "strongly disagree" (5). Total scores range from 16 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater uncertainty (worse outcome)

Informational booklet
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients will receive the web-based Livestrong 'Planning for Life After Cancer: A Guide to Survivorship for Teens and Young Adults' informational booklet, covering many topics (e.g., physical symptoms, emotional concerns, day-to-day needs).
