About this trial

The goal of this research study is to learn whether investigators can successfully give the PediRISE program to families-in other words, whether most families are interested in participating in a study about the PediRISE program, including a 50-50 chance of receiving standard usual care, and a 50-50 chance of receiving the PediRISE support program.

The names of the study groups in this research study are:

* PediRISE Program Group * Usual Care Group

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Child diagnosed with de novo cancer

Child has established care at a study site and initiated cancer directed therapy in the prior 2-months

Child planned to receive at least 4-months of cancer-directed therapy at study site from time of diagnosis per initial cancer treatment plan

Child is <18 years at time of enrollment

Disqualifiers

Planned transfer of child to a non-DFCI or non-Columbia facility for cancer-directed therapy

Foreign national family receiving care as an Embassy-pay patient

Child is enrolled on embedded correlative health equity aims of open or upcoming clinical drug trials which are powered on descriptive parent-reported poverty data (e.g. AALL1731, DFCI 25-001). Co-enrollment on a poverty intervention study would confound the specified endpoints of these open trial correlative studies
