Aim 2: What are the disease-related predictors of social
adjustment for survivors of ALL?
The overall model suggested that a significant amount of overall
variance in BASC-3 Social Withdrawal scores was explained by age at
diagnosis, time off treatment, and BRIEF-2 score: F (3, 33)=3.54,p =.025, R 2=.24. Age at diagnosis was not
associated with BASC-3 Social Withdrawal scores (b =0.20,p =.801). Time off treatment approached significance with a
medium-sized effect (b =2.06, p =.058, β=.30), and BRIEF-2
scores were statistically significant with a medium-to-large effect
(b =0.42, p =.006, β=.45). In sum, these findings suggest,
among survivors, greater time off treatment and higher BRIEF-2 scores
(i.e., poorer executive functioning) were associated with higher BASC-3
Social Withdrawal scores (i.e., poorer social adjustment).
