Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Children with brain tumors are at risk for a number of psychological late effects, including neurocognitive and social deficits. This observational study focuses on assessment of social functioning, including social-cognitive and neurocognitive abilities, in survivors of pediatric brain tumors. This study will also assess the influence of medical factors, including diagnosis and age at diagnosis, on social functioning. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Examine the impact of social-cognitive and neurocognitive abilities on social functioning in survivors of pediatric brain tumors. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Assess the influence of medical factors such as diagnosis and age at diagnosis on the social functioning of survivors of pediatric brain tumors.
