Co-designing Spanish videos to explain key pediatric cancer topics

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study partners Spanish-speaking caregivers, medical interpreters, and clinicians to co-design concise educational videos on high-yield pediatric oncology topics. In initial aims, participants collaborate to create and refine video content and format. In a pilot phase, the videos will be used with newly diagnosed or relapsed patients' caregivers who require interpreters to see if the materials improve caregiver knowledge and experience. Results will guide expansion to more languages and larger studies on the impact of multilingual educational videos.
