A High Intensity Electronic Health Intervention for the Reduction of Learning Disparities in Childhood Cancer Survivors

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the effectiveness of high intensity program (HIP)-eHealth on pediatric cancer survivors’ learning and school-related outcomes up to 12 months post-enrollment.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the effectiveness of HIP-eHealth on parental efficacy up to 12 months post-enrollment.

II. Examine the extent to which parents’ self-reported efficacy and/or children’s use of online learning activities correlates with the children’s school functioning.

III. Examine differences in HIP-eHealth uptake and effects across socio-demographic groups.

OUTLINE:

PRE-STUDY: Parent-child dyads attend 4 intervention sessions over 10 weeks and provide feedback in support of intervention refinement.

Parent-child dyads are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients and parents undergo high intensity eHealth intervention through the interactive website and via videoconferencing for 30-50 minutes once every 3 to 4 weeks for up to 5 sessions over 6 months. Patients and parents also receive usual care. After 6 months, parents attend booster sessions at months 7, 9, and 11.

ARM II: Patients and parents receive usual care.
