This feasibility study will determine the psychometric adequacy of a newly developed
instrument - Needs Assessment Survey of Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors. Additionally the
study will explore the feasibility of selected study methods -- sample selection, length of
time to complete recruitment, and response rates - in order to inform a larger national
periodic survey of adult survivors' health related needs

This study will focus on the following primary and secondary objectives:

1. Examine the construct validity, short-term stability, internal consistency and
item-response performance of a health-related needs assessment self-report instrument
for adult childhood cancer survivors

2. Inform future sample stratification by oversampling minority and rural-dwelling
survivors to enhance the heterogeneity of the respondent pool;

3. Describe the met and unmet health-related needs and their covariates in a large,
stratified, random sample of childhood cancer survivors;

4. Evaluate the sample selection methods, length of time to complete recruitment, and
response rates in the study sample.
