Summary

This study is creating a program called CERCA to help families of children with cancer get their social needs met, like finding food, housing, or transportation. Researchers will work with families, doctors, and community groups to design the program and test if it is practical and helpful. The goal is to reduce stress for caregivers and improve the overall care experience.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a practical tool to help families of children with cancer get the social support they need, reducing stress and improving care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on designing and testing the program's feasibility, not on proving it improves health outcomes. It may not work in other settings or for all families.
