Treatment and Outcome Surveillance 2. Late Effects Study 3. Most components have a working group composed of LCDC officials and external stakeholders. All provinces, except Ontario, have participated in this component since 1995.
Minimal information is collected on subjects who refuse to participate.
Some centres have been audited in March 1998 and other centres will be audited in the summer and fall 1999. All centres will receive an evaluation and be asked to help resolve issues raised. This quality control effort is in preparation for the Treatment and Outcome Annual Report to be completed this summer. These data will be useful in recognizing and understanding the unique health care needs of survivors to ensure that limited health care resources are appropriately allocated. Data for the study were gathered using an age appropriate, self-administered questionnaire designed to measure subjects health related quality of life.
