Brief summary
To compare the results of the SOCS-OTS to another standardized screening measure that is currently being used by rehabilitation services at MD Anderson Cancer Center and to ensure that the SOCS-OTS correctly identifies those individuals needing OT services in cancer care.
Detailed description
Primary Aim 1\. Explore the SOCS-OTS for use in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) clinic by means of diagnostic testing including sensitivity and specificity. Secondary Aims 1. Explore whether the SOCS-OTS identifies the likelihood that the presence or absence of OT referral is correctly predicted. To accomplish this, the likelihood ratios, and predictive values of the SOCS-OTS will be assessed. 2. Determine associations between the need for OT and demographic factors such as stage of cancer, cancer treatment etc. 3. Establish test-retest reliability of the SOCS-OTS.
