| CCSs over 10 years of age are enrolled into this study. Two types of computer games were developed for education to children or adolescents and young adults. The study participants are evaluated for their health management awareness, self-esteem and knowledge on cancer-related late effects before and after the educational interventions (Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months). Age-based questionnaires and knowledge tests are used for the evaluation. We use three scales for assessment of health management awareness, School-Life Skill scale for elementary school children and junior high school students and a Japanese version of the perceived health competence scale for adolescents and young adults ( AYA ). For assessment of self-esteem, we use the Japanese version of the perceived competence scale for school children and the Japanese version of Rosenberg's self-esteem scale for AYA. For assessment of knowledge level, we produced knowledge tests for school children and AYA. | — |
