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 />
