Brief Summary: This study is being done to see if education about medicines directed toward children will improve their knowledge The investigators also want to know if this knowledge lasts over time Right now there are few medication instructional cards that are appropriate for children Most of the medication cards provide information for adults Some studies have shown that by teaching children directly the children may take medicine at the right time for the right reason have fewer side effects and know more about their medicine

The purpose of this research study is to see if education about medication helps children learn more about their medicine and if this knowledge lasts
Detailed Description: In 2004 then Surgeon General Carmona stated that a health literate individual is more apt to know the answer when asked how to keep themselves well AHRQ 2004 There is a burgeoning movement among medical professionals to address health literacy Teaching health information to children will empower them to actively participate in their current care and provide self-management skills that will assist them to keep themselves well throughout their lives Currently few medication administration instructional cards exist that are appropriate for children Providing medication information that the child might understand may result in better administration compliance fewer adverse effects and develop an individual that is knowledgeable regarding medications and appropriate administration The purpose if this research is to develop medication administration cards appropriate for children which provide information on the most commonly used drugs among the HematologyOncology population

The overall objective of this research is to develop medication informational cards for medications frequently used within the HematologyOncology pediatric population and evaluate the effectiveness of these cards by means of a pre- and post-test
