School Behavior and Attendance during the First Year of Treatment for Childhood Cancer.

Stehbens, James A.; And Others

Psychology in the Schools, v20 n2 p223-28 Apr 1983

Investigated school behavior and attendance of children with cancer (N=36) and hemophilia (N=26). Teacher ratings of students' behavior showed no differences before and after treatment. Children with cancer were absent four times more than healthy children; absenteeism of hemophiliacs was twice the normal rate. Academic performance was negatively affected. (Author/JAC)
