Revealing Information Genuinely & Honestly Across Time - Communication Preferences Visit

An estimated range of 52-85 total participants across all subject cohorts at St. Jude and participating affiliate sites, including 12-15 pediatric oncologists, 2-3 family units per participating oncologist (with an emphasis on dyadic recruitment within a given family unit, but also may include independent patients, independent caregivers, or a patient and multiple caregivers; estimated 15-25 patients and 15-25 parents), and 10-20 'communication preferences companions' (CPCs). The RIGHTimeCPV intervention centers eliciting, sharing, and integrating individualized patient/parent preferences for prognostic communication into routine clinical practice through collaboration between multidisciplinary clinicians on the care team. The intervention comprises five parts: 1) patient/parent identifies and selects a CPC; 2) CPC reviews intervention materials and conversation guide with the research team; 3) CPC and patient/parent meet for a CPV visit, and CPC documents patient/parent preferences in a templated form; 4) CPC and oncologist discuss the CPV form; 5) oncologist, patient/parent, and CPC attend next disease re-evaluation visit together. Data will be collected at the following timepoints: 1) study enrollment (routine demographic information collected from each participant); 2) CPV 'conversation guide' training with CPC and research staff (audio-recorded encounter); 3) CPV with patient/parent and CPC (audio-recorded encounter); 4) during the period after a CPV and before the next disease re-evaluation encounter (brief survey and semi-structured interview for patients/parents and oncologists); 5) CPC-oncologist discussion to review the CPV form (email or audio-recorded encounter); 6) disease re-evaluation visit with patient/parent, oncologist, and CPC (audio-recorded encounter); 7) post-intervention interview (brief surveys for patients/parents and oncologists and semi-structured interviews for all participants); and 8) post-intervention interview six months after the final DRV (semi-structured interviews for all participants).
