LIMITATIONS:

The cross-sectional design limited causal inference. Self-perceived health was assessed with a single item, limiting its measurement. Internet and smartphone access eligibility could have introduced bias. The study also lacked racial and ethnic diversity.

DISCLOSURES:

The study was supported by the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Career Development Award and a grant from the National Cancer Institute. Additional funding was provided by the Canada Research Chairs Program. Three authors reported receiving grants from various sources.
