Statistical methods / analysis
The OCNI (Offspring Cancer Needs Instrument) 47-item questionnaire and Kessler 10 questionnaire will be utilised to measure offspring needs. Demographic information of the offspring and details of the mother’s disease and treatment will be obtained. The incidence of types and severity of psychosocial needs will be reported as the primary endpoint. Factors including offspring demographics, the patient’s disease stage and treatment received at the time of study will be analysed for which variables are predictive of a higher likelihood of needs experienced in the offspring.
• Consenting offspring will be asked to complete the OCNI and Kessler 10
• Demographic details of offspring will be collected
• Information on patient demographics, disease details, treatment received and breast cancer status will be collated.

Consecutive study participants over a 6-month will be included in the study sample. It is anticipated that up to 100 participants will be recruited. Participants must complete both the OCNI and the Kessler 10 questionnaires to be included in the sample size
