Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a brief intervention about learning and education is both practical and acceptable for parents of children with cancer.
Detailed description
After being provided details about the study, participants signing the study consent form complete pre-intervention questionnaires. Participants then complete a brief psychoeducational intervention, via a HIPAA-compliant web and video conferencing platform on Zoom. The intervention is followed by completion of a post-intervention evaluation form. The consent form and study questionnaires are completed through Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap), a secure web-based application.
