Telemedicine
for Sickle Cell Anemia
The purpose of this study is to learn more about how the use of two different types of telemedicine (distance medical care) can address barriers to receiving comprehensive sickle cell care, and whether care can be improved. Aim 1: Adapt two telemedicine models (i.e., hub-and-spoke; direct-to-consumer) for use with children with SCD using caregiver input from our preliminary K12 work. Aim 2: Demonstrate the feasibility of the telemedicine models developed in Aim 1 as the models undergo successive stakeholder refinement during use in actual clinical care. Aim 3: Evaluate the effectiveness of the refined models from Aim 2 in a pre/post study by assessing (a) process of care measures, (b) provider satisfaction, (c) caregiver/patient-centered outcomes, and (d) clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization.

Music Therapy
for Pediatric Cancer
Music therapy has become a standard palliative care service in many pediatric and adult hospitals; however, a majority of music therapy research has focused on the use of music to improve psychosocial dimensions of health, without considering biological dimensions. This study builds on prior work examining the psychosocial mechanisms of action underlying an Active Music Engagement (AME) intervention, designed to help manage emotional distress and improve positive health outcomes in young children with cancer and parents, by examining its effects on biomarkers of stress and immune function. The purposes of this two group, randomized controlled trial are to examine biological mechanisms of effect and dose-response relationships of AME on child/parent stress during the consolidation phase of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) treatment. Specific aims are to: Aim 1. Establish whether AME lowers child and parent cortisol during ALL treatment. Aim 2. Examine cortisol as a mediator of AME effects on child and parent outcomes during ALL treatment. Aim 3 (exploratory). Examine the dose-response relationship of AME on child and parent cortisol during ALL treatment. Findings will provide a more holistic understanding about how active music interventions work to mitigate cancer-related stress and its potential to improve immune function, with direct implications for the evidence-based use of music to improve health.
