title: [Evaluation of a program for teenagers going back to high-school].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Education of adolescent with cancer has become an imperative but is often difficult even after treatments. A special support program focusing on teacher teams and pupils was designed to limit these difficulties. After a 4-years experience, this support program was evaluated.
  
  
  METHODS
  Questionnaires (one after the intervention, another few months after) were sent to the participating families who were also proposed to be interviewed with a semi-structured list of open-ended questions. A questionnaire was also sent to the teaching staff and to the pupils.
  
  
  RESULTS
  On 23 interventions prepared, 15 interventions were performed: eight for pupils and seven in teacher teams. Eleven patients who benefited from these interventions responded to the first questionnaires, and seven to the second part of the study and 142 high schools pupils have responded to the questionnaires. In the comparative study, 21 patients were analysed. The interventions give useful information to teacher team, helping them understanding "invisible crippling". The program avoids bullying and questions for the patient-pupil.
