Summary

This completed study involved 633 participants and aimed to develop two clinical tools to identify and measure stigma experienced by children with cancer and their caregivers. Researchers worked in the United States, Guatemala, and Jordan to ensure the tools are culturally relevant. The goal is to help healthcare teams better understand and address stigma in pediatric cancer care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, these tools could help doctors and researchers better understand and address stigma in pediatric cancer care worldwide.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study focused on developing measurement tools, not testing a treatment. The tools may not work equally well in all cultures or settings.
