As part of a large cross-sectional study examining the post-treatment fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) using the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (FCRI), potential participants were approached during their follow-up appointment at a cancer centre in Singapore (National University Cancer Institue Singapore, NCIS). The FoP-Q-SF was an additional instrument used in that study to validate the FCRI. Potential participants were recruited if they met the following inclusion criteria: (a) a cancer diagnosis; (b) at least one-year post-treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy); (c) Singapore citizens or permanent residents between 21 to 84 years old; (d) ability to read and understand either English or Mandarin. The study received ethics approval from the National Healthcare Group Domain Specific Review Board (Reference: 2015/00003), and informed consent was obtained from all participants. 420 participants were recruited between February 2015 to June 2016, and 341 (81.2%) participants returned the questionnaire. Of these, 278 (81.5%) completed the FoP-Q-SF again two weeks later.
