Financial Distress during Treatment for Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the United States

The overall goals of this study are to measure parents’ financial distress (worry or anxiety about money) during their child’s/adolescent’s treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and whether it changes over time, and to learn what factors are associated with changes in financial distress. Information gathered from this study will inform future intervention studies that may mitigate financial distress for parents of children/adolescents being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
