The Feasibility Of a Daily Diary Methodology With a Pediatric Cancer Population

The proposed investigation is a prospective case-control pilot study. The major goal of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a daily diary methodology for monitoring the experiences of recently diagnosed pediatric cancer patients and healthy-matched peers. The investigation will also examine the relationships among individual and contextual factors that influence the daily psychosocial functioning of youth with cancer in comparison to youth without cancer.
