Adaptation of an Intervention to Reduce Disparities in School HRQOL for Latino Childhood Cancer Survivors.

Objective: Survivors of childhood leukemia, especially those from low socioeconomic status households, often experience persistent neurocognitive and academic impairment. This study adapted an existing parent training intervention to improve outcomes for low-acculturated, Spanish-speaking Latino parents of children with leukemia and pilot tested that intervention for feasibility.

Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with a focus group of 20 Latino parents of children treated for leukemia.
