摘要：

This study compared the similarities and differences in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Latino and non-Latino adult long-term survivors of childhood cancer using the qualitative methodolocyies of focus groups and individual sernistructured telephone interviews. The study also compared the sample's HRQOL, as measured by the Short-Form 12 to the general, healthy United States Population normative data. The data suggest that Latino Survivors are reporting good HRQOL similar to the non-Latinos. The findings suggest that the paradigm of negative consequences of cure should be expanded to one, which also includes the positive impact of cure for ethnically diverse populations of childhood cancer survivors.
