Barriers and Facilitators of Parent-Child Communication in Children With Cancer Predisposition


Sponsor

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Enrollment

125 participants

Start Date

Dec 12, 2023

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Testing children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) for a genetic risk for cancer can help with early prevention and detection of cancers through regular follow-ups and medical care. After receiving genetic test results, CAYA may not accurately understand what their results mean, and parents are often unsure about talking with their CAYA about their genetic risk for cancer. By understanding how parents communicate with their CAYA, the investigators can improve future genetic education to reduce cancer risk. Primary Objectives: * Identify qualities of parent-CAYA (child, adolescent, and young adults) communication about CAYAs' genomic cancer risk, and their association with CAYAs' psychosocial and prevention outcomes. * Examine the association between sociodemographic, cancer-related, and psychosocial factors and parent-CAYA communication regarding CAYAs' genomic risk for cancer. * Identify barriers and facilitators of parent-CAYA communication regarding CAYAs' genomic risk for cancer.
