Research priorities for family assessment and intervention in pediatric oncology.
Four broad areas of research priority related to family assessment and intervention in pediatric oncology are outlined. The importance of a contextual, systemic approach is highlighted along with the value of systematic empirical assessment of psychosocial risk at diagnosis. Research to advance the development and application of standards of care during treatment is also advocated. The chapter concludes with opportunities for family-oriented research related to survivorship and end-of-life care.
