Usability Testing of an Internet-Based Responsive Parenting Program for Caregivers of Young Survivors of Childhood Cancer Living in Rural and Appalachian Communities: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Young survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed and treated before the age of 7 years are at heightened risk of developmental difficulties. As a result, their caregivers may experience stress as they navigate various educational and health care systems while advocating for their child's needs. To our knowledge, there are no tailored early interventions or support programs to address the unique and multifaceted needs of young survivors of childhood cancer and their caregivers. Digital platforms can provide anticipatory guidance and developmental resources, which may be especially impactful for families at increased risk for health and educational disparities, particularly in underserved rural and Appalachian areas.
