Q28-31: Socioeconomic Information

!Socioeconomic Information
This section is answered for US recipients only

Questions 28-29: Specify the category which best describes the recipient’s current occupation (if the recipient is not currently employed, check the box which best describes his/her last job.)

Report the recipient’s occupation category prior to illness.

If the recipient is unemployed, select the option that best describes his/her most recent job. If the recipient is Under school age, select this option.

The Other category should only be used if the recipient’s occupation does not fit into one of the broad occupation categories listed. Please review the text associated with each answer to ensure that the occupation is being reported within the correct category. One common oversight is the reporting of Other when the recipient’s occupation actually fits best in the Professional, technical, or related occupation category.

Question 30: What is the recipient’s most recent work status? (Within the last year)

*Recipient Work Status
The question on the form currently refers to the recipient’s current or most recent work status with the last year; however, the intent of the question is to capture the recipient’s most recent work status prior to the start of lymphodepleting therapy.

Report the recipient’s most recent work status within the last year. This refers to the employment status at the time in which they were no longer able to work due to the illness or due to preparation for their cell therapy. If the recipient is on medical leave other than medical disability (such as short-term or long-term medical leave), report their employment status prior to the start of their leave. If they are on medical disability, select Medical disability.

• Example 1: Recipient was diagnosed with ALL and had been working a full-time job. The recipient was on medical leave as the ALL treatment prevented them from returning to work prior to the cell therapy. The correct option to choose would be Full time.

• Example 2: Recipient was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and had been working a full-time job. Due to treatment related side effects, the recipient had to reduce their hours and only work part-time. The correct option to choose would be Part time, due to illness and not Full time. Full time would not be chosen because the most recent status of their employment was part time. Full time would have been chosen had the recipient stopped working and was on a medical leave from their employer due to their illness.

• Example 3: Recipient was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and worked part time during her treatment. Following initial therapy, the recipient began working full time. After the recipient’s retirement, her annual scan showed relapse, treatment began again, and the recipient proceeded to transplant. Retired would be reported on the form.

If the recipient’s occupation was reported as Student, specify Full time, Part time, or Unknown.

Question 31: Is the recipient currently in school, or was enrolled prior to illness?

Indicate if the recipient is a current student or was a student prior to illness
