What this trial studies

This study aims to validate the Screen of Cancer Survivorship - Occupational Therapy Services (SOCS-OTS) tool by comparing its results with a standardized screening measure currently used at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The primary focus is on diagnostic testing to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the SOCS-OTS in identifying patients who require occupational therapy services. Additionally, the study will assess the predictive accuracy of the SOCS-OTS regarding OT referrals and explore demographic factors associated with the need for OT. Test-retest reliability of the SOCS-OTS will also be established.
