Summary

This trial will study two ways to help pediatric cancer programs provide better psychological support to patients and families.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric cancer programs in the U.S. that have a psychosocial staff size at or above the median level. Eligible sites must serve a significant number of new pediatric cancer patients, including Spanish speakers and families with low socioeconomic status.
What is being tested?
The study compares two strategies to implement the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) across 18 pediatric cancer centers. One group will receive Training Webinar Plus Implementation Enhanced Resources (TIER), while another just gets a training webinar.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on implementing an assessment tool rather than medical treatment, it does not involve direct physical side effects. However, there may be indirect impacts on patient care based on how well each strategy works.
