This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study wants to understand how young people diagnosed with cancer prefer to make decisions about their treatment. Researchers will ask you about hypothetical medical scenarios and what role you'd want to play in making choices—whether you'd prefer to decide alone, work with your doctors and family, or have others decide for you. The goal is to help doctors and hospitals better support young cancer patients in the way that feels right to each person.
Many young cancer patients feel unsure about how much say they should have in their own care, and doctors aren't always clear about what these patients actually want. This study exists to fill that gap—so doctors can learn how to involve young patients in decision-making in the way that works best for them.

You would fill out a short online questionnaire about yourself, then read through several made-up medical scenarios and answer questions about how you'd want to be involved in those decisions. The whole thing should take less than an hour. There are no visits to the hospital or any physical tests—it's all done electronically, so you can do it from home or wherever is comfortable for you.
