About this study

Official title: Survey to Assess International Travel Patterns and Health Preparations of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

The purpose of this study is to survey patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) to assess if they have traveled or not internationally after transplant. This information will help to improve the understanding of the needs for travel health strategies and interventions to provide healthy and safe travel to HSCT patients. The findings of this survey will also be used to develop travel health related interventions for patients living with cancer as well.
