Summary

Primary Objectives:

1. To examine illness-related factors (i.e., severity of illness, quality of life rating) as predictors or correlates of child adjustment to pediatric cancer.
2. To examine illness-related factors (i.e., severity of illness, quality of life rating) as predictors of school reintegration (i.e., school attendance) in children with pediatric cancer.
3. To examine a within-parent factor (i.e., parental stress) as a predictor or correlate of child adjustment to pediatric cancer.
4. To examine a within-parent factor (i.e., parental stress) as a predictor or correlate of school reintegration (i.e., school attendance).

Secondary Objectives:

1. To examine a second within-parent factor (i.e., parental perception of child vulnerability) as a predictor or correlate of child adjustment to pediatric cancer.
2. To examine a second within-parent factor (i.e., parental perception of child vulnerability) as a predictor or correlate of school reintegration (i.e., school attendance) in children with pediatric cancer.
3. To develop a statistical model by which relative contributions of each predictor variable (i.e., severity of illness, quality of life, parental stress, parental perception of child vulnerability), as well as their interrelatedness, can be understood in relation to child adjustment. Exploration of each variable's contribution will affect the schematic organization of the model.
4. To examine demographic variables as covariates in the primary analyses. The variables include: child's age, gender, grade, ethnicity, diagnosis, time since diagnosis, type and duration of treatment, and time since school reintegration.
