First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how children aged 12 to 17, their parents, and healthcare staff remember the conversation when cancer was first diagnosed. Researchers will interview each group and analyze the memories for common themes and differences. The goal is to learn more about how these memories form and what they mean for future communication.
