Study Objectives / Outcomes
      Primary Objective:
        To conduct a qualitative study that will explore receptivity of survivors of pediatric cancers to an innovative energy balance-promoting video game intervention.
      Secondary Objectives:
      In order to adapt two video games with successful outcomes among healthy children to pediatric cancer outpatients and survivors, the following secondary objectives are proposed:
Recruit sixteen 9-12 year old pediatric cancer outpatients and sixteen 9-12 year old pediatric cancer survivors to assess the video game intervention.

      Qualitatively assess expectations and responses from these participants.

      Analyze responses for publication and design amendments to the video game intervention for submission of an R01 application.
