Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Describe specific musical difficulties that arise during and after cancer treatments - MTQ 10-item
Assessed using the Musical Toxicity Questionnaire (MTQ 10-item), a survey with yes/no and open-ended questions (e.g., What musical instrument do you play, or do you sing?). The survey is designed to capture the participant's thoughts and feelings on how cancer treatments (before and after) has affected enjoyment and ability to play, teach, or perform music. The questionnaire will take about 15-30 minutes to complete. Qualitative analysis software will be utilized to code responses and organize themes. Themes will be organized into related groups and interpreted to generate conclusions.
