PediRISE Feasibility

This is a pilot, multi-center, randomized research study for the feasibility of the administration of the PediRISE program among 40 poverty exposed children with (1) a new diagnosis of childhood cancer at DFCI and Columbia University and among poverty-exposed families with a child with cancer and (2) receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) at DFCI, Columbia University, or the University of California - San Francisco (UCSF). Randomization means there is an equal chance of being assigned to the PediRISE Program Group or the Usual Care Group. Study procedures include screening for eligibility, study visits, and completion of surveys and questionnaires. Participation in this study will last for about 6-months. It is expected that about 40 pediatric participants with parents/guardians will take part in this research study. This study is being supported by grants from the American Cancer Society and the Children's Cancer Research Fund.
