Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Knowledge gained by attending a multispecialty Survivorship Clinic which will be measured by comparison of self report with medical record data in both cross-sectional and longitudinal approach.	12 months	In addition to data from patient interviews, a review of medical records will include general patient demographic data as well as data regarding cancer diagnosis, treatment and ongoing follow-up care.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
An analysis of differences in relative levels of recommended screening for late effects that childhood cancer survivors have received based on the type of their long-term follow-up care comparing medical records against Survivorship Care Plan.	12 months	Scored responses will allow for quantitative analysis of differences within and between the cohorts of patients
A qualitative evaluation of program feedback will serve to improve the care provided in the REACH for Survivorship clinic	12 months	This data will be evaluated qualitatively for trends.
Characterizing how the initial consultation in a specialized clinic impacts childhood cancer survivors' knowledge of their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and risk of late effects by comparing patient's understanding among 3 sampled timepoints.	pre-clinic and a post-clinic interviews at 1 and 3 months.
