Let's Get REAL is a study to help kids and teens (8-17 years old) and their parents talk about important decisions when they need a stem cell transplant or cellular therapy (SCTCT). Stem cell transplant is a medical procedure where healthy cells are put into the body to replace damaged ones. The study will test a new tool to make these talks easier.
Key Points:
- The study involves 24 families with kids aged 8-17. It is split into two groups: 8-12 and 13-17 years old.
- Both kids and parents need to understand English and agree to join after reading a special agreement form.
- If a child or parent has serious health issues that stop them from joining, or if the main doctor advises against it, they cannot participate.
If you are a parent or a child in this age group and are planning to discuss SCTCT, this study could help improve your communication. Remember, you need to speak English and be able to understand the study details to join.
