| JLA question ID | 0060/20 |
| Explanatory note | Late physical effects of therapies are well documented, but we know less about which young people might be left with psychological issues such as anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or depression. As a result we know less about how to support these young people. |
