Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

survey web-based or telephone interview

Patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire at baseline, and then one at follow up, 3-4 months after treatment completion. The patient will be contacted one and two years after the completion of their follow up questionnaire for a brief one-question survey regarding current employment status. A member of the study team will call a subset of patients who have completed both baseline and follow-up surveys to clarify responses to previous questions. Patients will be considered lost to follow- up if surveys A or C have not been completed two years from the participant's consent date (participants who enroll but do not complete survey A are not prompted for survey C). Deviations will not be filed until the end of the study, as there are opportunities over the course of study follow- up to collect previously missing information.

BEHAVIORAL

survey web-based or telephone interview

Patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire at baseline, and then one at follow up, 3-4 months after treatment completion. All three follow-up contact methods (email, postcard, call) contain the same question regarding current employment status with minor modifications in formatting. However, the employment question asked in all three follow-up contact methods is shown in the Postcard\_Template document. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic study staff will be working from home. Therefore, calls will be made via MSK-approved platforms (e.g. Jabber, etc.). Participants who express concerns or request assistance related to COVID-19 will be referred to publicly available resources as needed (e.g., call 311 for access to health care or food panties, etc.) and will be noted in internal tracking logs. The data collected for these internal tracking logs will be managed through a REDCap database.
