ObjectiveThis mixed-method study assessed 1) survivors’ and parents’ information needs, and 2) associations between unmet information needs and clinical and socio-demographic characteristics.MethodsStage 1: CCS and parents of CCS, >5years post-diagnosis completed a questionnaire on information needs, overall health and perceived risk. Predictors for unmet information needs were assessed by multivariable regression. Stage 2: participants were interviewed in-depth on these topics.ResultsQuestionnaires were completed by 485 participants comprising 322 survivors (mean age: 26.7years, SD = 7.9, time since diagnosis: 19.7years, SD = 8.8) and 163 parents (child age: 12.9years, SD = 2.4, time since diagnosis: 9.7years, SD = 2.3), and complemented by 70 interviews. Survivors reported unmet information needs about late effects (57.5%) and parents for fertility issues (62.5%). Survivors had more unmet needs for medical information whereas parents had significantly more regarding sexual issues and lifestyle. Being a parent (p = 0.001), dissatisfaction with follow-up care (p = 0.003), lower overall health (p = 0.014), higher perceived risk of late effects (p < 0.001), and greater anxiety/depression (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with more unmet needs.ConclusionUnmet information needs were common for survivors and parents of CCS
