Shareholder-driven Co-design and Piloting of Spanish Educational Videos About High Yield Pediatric Oncology Topics

Families of children with cancer who speak languages other than English experience inequalities in healthcare, but little research has been done on solutions to improve care for these families. This study will partner parents with medical interpreters and clinicians to create educational videos about key cancer topics in Spanish and test their use as a tool to improve caregiver knowledge and experience in the setting of a language barrier. The project will lead to a future career development award application that increases the number of available languages and studies how multilingual educational videos impact caregiver knowledge and experience
