• Efficacy of educational intervention [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

• Donors requiring additional preparation [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  
• Donor anxiety [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• Assess young first degree relative stem cell donor comprehension of transplantation procedures and compare knowledge prior to educational interventions (pre- and post-consent information session) to knowledge after educational interventions.

Secondary

• Assess the efficacy of a workbook intervention as a learning tool for conveying information on stem cell donation and transplantation to pediatric donors.
• Assess the effectiveness of a board game intervention (ShopTalk) as a learning tool for conveying information on stem cell donation and transplantation to pediatric donors.
• Identify donors who may require additional preparation prior to stem cell collection.
• Measure donor anxiety symptoms pre- and post-educational intervention and pre- and post-stem cell donation.
• Explore the relationship between donor knowledge and anxiety symptoms pre- and post-stem cell donation.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study. Participants are stratified by age (10-15 years of age vs 16-26 years of age).

Participants attend an educational session comprising a board game intervention (ShopTalk) (for participants 10-15 years of age) or a workbook intervention (for participants 16-26 years of age).

Participants take a knowledge-assessment quiz at baseline, 24 hours before and after educational session, and 1 month after educational session. Participants also complete a written anxiety assessment at baseline, 24 hours before educational session, and 1 month after educational session.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 participants will be accrued for this study.
