Given the dramatic increase in survival rates and the long-term health and psychosocial challenges, as well as survivorship care barriers, this study focuses special attention on childhood and adolescent cancer survivors and is guided by Tedeschi and Calhoun's theory of posttraumatic growth and Hammond's theory of distinctiveness. This study aims to examine the influence of demographic (i.e., age at diagnosis, biological sex, race/ethnicity, type of cancer) and environmental factors (i.e., geographical location and insurance type), as well as the interaction effects (i.e., age at diagnosis x biological sex, and geographical location x insurance type), in predicting negative impacts of cancer (NIOC) and positive impacts of cancer (PIOC). Study findings provide insights to better understand the differential perceptions of female adolescent cancer survivors, as well as those residing in rural locations with public health insurance. Study respondents were cancer survivors attending Oregon Health and Science University's Doernbecher Cancer Survivorship Clinic (DCSC) in Portland, Oregon, who were diagnosed with and treated for cancer between the ages of 0-19 years old and were in remission from cancer for a minimum of two years at the time of the study. During their first visit to DSCS, the Impact of Cancer for Childhood Cancer Survivors (IOC-CS) questionnaire was completed by participants 13 years and older (otherwise, after they turned 13 years old) to measure NIOC and PIOC scores. Demographic and environmental variables were derived from the Survivorship Repository and a retrospective chart review I would like to express my sincerest thanks and gratitude to Dr. Susan Lindemulder, Jessica Busse and the entire team of healthcare professionals and patients at Oregon Health Science Universities Doernbecher cancer survivorship program for the opportunity to conduct this research study. I would also like to express my deepest thanks, respect, and appreciation to my committee chair, Dr. Junghee Lee for her support, encouragement, and mentorship to my development as a social work scholar and researcher.
