Abstract
Adolescents living with cancer have unmet psychosocial needs which are strongly related to their levels of psychological distress.
Peer support is a salient need, associated with positive outcomes for adolescents living with cancer and lower levels of psychological distress.
We developed a brief 11-item Cancer Peer Support Scale (CaPSS) to assess the quality of peer support experienced by adolescents living with cancer.
Our study assessed the psychometric properties, validity, and reliability of the CaPSS.
The CaPSS is a valid and reliable peer support measure for adolescents living with cancer and can be used as an outcome measure to assess peer support.
