Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to develop a registry for Down syndrome (DS) to facilitate research participation by individuals with Down syndrome. DS-Connect® is an online survey tool designed to collect demographic data and health information from individuals with DS. It is open to all people with Down syndrome. The purposes of DS-Connect® are: 1. To identify the various phenotypic manifestations of DS. 2. To identify individuals with DS who may be eligible for research studies or new clinical trials, based on specific information about their diagnosis and health history.

  1. * A person who does not have a diagnosis of DS (or mosaic DS or partial trisomy 21)
  2. * Adults with DS who are not capable of providing informed consent or assent to participate and do not have a Legally Authorized Representative who can do so. In the case where an adults with DS is able to provide assent but does not do so, that adult will be excluded.
