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

What this trial studies

COMPRENDO is a multi-site randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a peer-navigation intervention compared to usual care for increasing participation in childhood cancer clinical trials. The intervention involves trained peer navigators who will assist parents through four visits, focusing on informed consent and decision-making processes. The study will also assess implementation factors through mixed methods, including surveys and interviews with various stakeholders, to enhance the integration of peer navigation in clinical practice. Approximately 400 participants will be involved, with a focus on Hispanic families facing newly diagnosed pediatric cancers.
