Summary

This study is testing a Spanish version of the Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT), a questionnaire for caregivers of children with cancer. The goal is to see if the tool accurately measures family stress and support needs. Researchers will enroll 236 caregivers in Mexico to check if the questionnaire is reliable and valid. If successful, it could help healthcare teams provide better support to families facing childhood cancer.
