Summary

This study looks at how to best screen families of children newly diagnosed with cancer for emotional, social, and practical needs. Researchers are comparing two ways to roll out a screening tool called the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) across 18 U.S. cancer centers. The goal is to help hospitals identify which families need extra support early on, so care can be fair and effective for everyone.
