Socioeconomic consequences of mental distress in survivors of childhood cancer and their first-degree relatives

Description

The research project may significantly contribute to filling knowledge gaps concerning the role of mental health in the sickness absence and financial burden of childhood cancer survivors and their first-degree relatives. By identifying detailed sociodemographic characteristics, our studies provide knowledge that may be informative for prevention strategies and would facilitate policy interventions and thus could lead to reduce work disability in these vulnerable groups and reduce social inequity.
