The Perceived Impact of COVID-19 on the Mental Health Status of Adolescent and Young Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer and the Development of a Knowledge Translation Tool to Support Their Information Needs.

Background: Adolescent and young adult (AYA; 13 to 39 years) survivors of childhood cancer may be especially vulnerable to physical health and mental health concerns during the pandemic. We investigated the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health status of AYA survivors (Aim 1) and shared tailored, evidence-based health-related information on COVID-19 (Aim 2).

Methods: Between May and June 2020, participants completed a cross-sectional online survey assessing their cancer history, current mental health status, and their COVID-19 information needs.

Social adjustment across the lifespan in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL): a systematic review.

Purpose: The objectives of this review were to (1) summarize studies that described social adjustment in survivors of pediatric ALL across the lifespan, (2) summarize social adjustment outcomes reported across studies, and (3) examine associations between social adjustment and disease/treatment- and non-treatment-related factors.

Methods: Searched databases included EMBASE (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO (EBSCO Information Services), and Web of Science (Thomson Reuters). Eligible studies included: (1) original research; (2) published in English; (3) a diagnosis of cancer between 0 and 21 years; (4) survivors at least 5 years from diagnosis and/or 2 years from therapy completion; and (5) quantitative assessment of social adjustment.
