Summary
This study tests a new program that helps young Hispanic/Latino adults who survived childhood cancer communicate better with their families and doctors. The program uses a community health worker to guide conversations before and after a clinic visit. The study will enroll 18 survivors and their chosen support person to see if the program is feasible and acceptable.
