Symptom Assessment With Patient Surveys

Symptom Assessment With Patient Surveys

The primary purpose of the proposed research is to explore methods of obtaining symptom assessments from pediatric oncology patients and/or their caregivers in hopes of improving the accuracy and thoroughness of these reports. Additionally the researchers hope to simply staff efforts in obtaining detailed medical histories from pediatric oncology patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Approximately 150 patients ages 0-18 years (75 for each group-intervention and control) will be enrolled.
• These patients will be pediatric oncology patients who have received chemotherapy within the prior four weeks and being seen in the oncology clinic for an out-patient visit.
