It is critical to provide accessible evidence-based psychosocial support to parents and caregivers of children with cancer (PCCC) in order to mitigate individual and family-level psychosocial risks. This effectiveness trial evaluates an eHealth intervention for English- and Spanish-speaking (PCCC) with study endpoints focused on decreasing negative psychosocial sequelae (acute distress, posttraumatic stress, and anxiety) and improving coping abilities (coping self-efficacy, cognitive coping strategies). The long-term goal of this research program is to sustain and disseminate an effective, scalable, high-reach, and cost-effective intervention to provide crucial support to PCCC across the pediatric cancer trajectory.
Participants must be the parent or primary caregiver of a child (ages 0 - 18 years old) diagnosed with cancer.
Participants must be able to speak and read English or Spanish.
Participants must have access to the internet through a computer or mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet).
PCCC are ineligible to participate if their child is not expected to live longer than six months from the time of potential recruitment
