Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of electronic educational materials on adolescent and young adult ("AYA") survivors' knowledge about late effects, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and intentions to engage in lifelong survivor care.

Description:

Despite increased risk for morbidity and mortality related to cancer treatment, over half of young adult survivors of childhood cancer do not engage in the recommended healthcare designed to detect late effects and secondary cancers. There is a scarcity of data on adherence to survivor-focused healthcare, particularly at the critical transition from pediatrics to adult care. In order to improve transition outcomes, the investigators need to create media to educate survivors about need for adherence to adult survivor healthcare. This study aims to evaluate the impact of electronic educational materials on AYA survivors' knowledge about late effects, perceived benefits, self-efficacy, and intentions to engage in lifelong survivor care.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in knowledge	Knowledge will be assessed at baseline and 2 weeks post-intervention, with the Survivor Care Knowledge scale, that includes 15-item multiple-choice quiz to assess participants' knowledge of the content covered in the electronic educational materials previously provided. Total score ranges from 0-15. Higher score is associated with better outcome.	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
Secondary	Change in Champion Benefits Scale for Mammography screening	5-item study adapted Champion Benefits Scale for Mammography Screening. Total score ranges from 5-25. Lower score equals fewer perceived benefits of survivor care	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
Secondary	Change in Champion Barriers Scale for Mammography Screening	11-item study adapted Champion Barriers Scale for Mammography Screening. Total score ranges from 11-55. Lower score equals fewer perceived barriers to survivor care	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
Secondary	Change in Champion Susceptibility Scale for Mammography Screening	3-item study adapted Champion Susceptibility Scale for Mammography Screening. Total score ranges from 3-15. Lower score equals less susceptibility to late effects of treatment	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
Secondary	Change in Intentions for survivor care	2-item study adapted Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior- Intentions. Total score ranges from 2-14. Lower score equals greater intention to engage in long-term follow-up care	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
Secondary	Change in Perceived Health Competence Scale (PHCS)	8-item Perceived Health Competence Scale (PHCS). total score ranges from 8-40. Lower score equals lower perceived health competence	Baseline, 2 weeks post-intervention
