Summary

This study tests whether a high-intensity parenting program can improve learning and school functioning in Latino children being treated for leukemia or lymphoma. About 214 parents and children will take part. Parents in the high-intensity group will receive extra training in skills that support learning, while the other group gets standard care. Researchers will measure changes in school performance, attention, and quality of life.

What this could lead to
