Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

40 participants

Start Date

Feb 20, 2013

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This trial collects feedback from patients to develop a video game in improving the outcomes in stem cell transplant survivors. A video game may help to improve health behaviors for leukemia or lymphoma patients after stem cell transplant.


Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria12

  • Phase I
  • The target population for this study will consist of:
  • Individuals ages 15-29

  • Diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma
  • First time allogeneic SCT recipient
  • Phase II
  • The target population for this study will consist of:
  • Individuals ages 18-39 (in phase I, we recruited only individuals age 15-29. For phase II, we will recruit young adults, and will expand the eligible age range up to 39 years.
