description Cancer survivors at The Ottawa Hospital were referred to a survivorship class following discharge. As not all survivors attended the class, this study aimed to identify socio-demographic and medical characteristics, and survivorship needs that predict attendance. A chart review was conducted on survivors who completed a needs assessment survey between 2012 and 2014 (n=144 endometrial; n=170 breast). Class attendees’ characteristics were compared to those of non-attendees using t-tests, chi-square analyses, and regression analysis. Univariate analyses showed that age, distance from hospital, emotional and physical needs, and chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy were associated with class attendance. Distance from hospital, and physical needs, were identified as multivariate predictors. Identifying attendees’ characteristics will help inform recruitment strategies and class content.
