About this study

In plain language

This study uses a 10-minute survey to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the health and daily lives of people with melanoma, a type of skin cancer, whether or not they had COVID-19. It also looks at whether support from others and ways to manage stress helped them cope. It is for people who already agreed to join study PA15-0336 and shared information about their lifestyle.

The primary purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of COVID-19 status, may have impacted multiple domains of health-related quality of life and other areas such as COVID-19 specific psychological distress, and disruptions to health care, finances and social interactions. We will also evaluate the extent to which resiliency factors such as social support, perceived benefits under times of stress, and ability to manage stress may buffer associations between COVID-19 experiences and HRQoL. To meet these objectives, we have developed a 10-minute questionnaire that taps into these areas and is based on prior work addressing concerns of other pandemics or national crises. Participants will have previously consented to protocol PA15-0336 and have provided prior lifestyle data. This will allow us to connect the COVID-19 survey data with prior existing data.
