Purpose of the Project Milestones Study
Young adults, diagnosed at aged 18-39, are in a unique place in their life, where they encounter major life milestones such as starting a family or a new job. We understand very little about the experiences young adult cancer survivors face because they are underrepresented in cancer survivorship research. What we know is that survivors in this group face unique challenges that can affect them over their lifetime.
Impact of our study
If you were selected to participate in our study, we ask you to complete a short, 30-40 minute questionnaire that looks to understand your cancer experience. For example, we ask how your experience affected your plans and perspectives. By answering the survey questions, your information can help us develop approaches to improve the health behaviors and long-term healthcare for cancer survivors.
