A study of the quality of life and wellbeing of survivors of childhood cancer in New<br />

Zealand<br />

You have been sent this letter and attached information sheet because your child is<br />

younger than 16yrs of age and we would like to invite them to take part in a research<br />

study. This study looks at what life after cancer is like for young people aged 12 to<br />

18 years of age who have survived a childhood cancer or an illness that was not called<br />

a cancer but needed the same treatment.<br />

Please read the attached information sheet and if you are happy for your child to take<br />

part please pass this onto them.<br />

To accurately reflect your child’s own view it is important that they are the one to<br />

complete the questionnaire and are able to complete it on their own and in private.<br />

If you have any questions at all please contact me or any of the research team - our<br />

contact details are on the information sheet.<br />

Yours sincerely,<br />

Kathy Yallop<br />

Principal Investigator<br />
