- At least 6 months post-treatment according to participant's self-report.

- Able to provide informed consent (or parent or legal guardian consent and participant
assent for those participants under 18 years of age)

reestablishing the reliability and validity of these measures. Therefore,
participants must be able to communicate in English to complete the assessments.

being able to give information consent and/or complete the questionnaires.
