What this trial studies

This trial evaluates an innovative eHealth psychosocial intervention called eSCCIP for parents and caregivers of children diagnosed with cancer. The program is designed to provide accessible, evidence-based support through a combination of self-guided online content and telehealth follow-up with a therapist. The primary focus is on reducing negative psychosocial effects such as distress, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress while enhancing coping abilities. The intervention is tailored for both English and Spanish-speaking participants, aiming to address the unique challenges faced by families during the pediatric cancer journey.
