We need your help developing a parenting program for Latina mothers with advanced cancer.
An advanced cancer diagnosis can affect everyone in the family, including the children. Conexiones is a program designed to help diagnosed Latina mothers with early stage cancer and their children to cope with cancer. Researchers at NMSU would like to improve Conexiones so that it may also help Latina mothers with advanced cancer and their children to cope with cancer.
What is Evaluating the Acceptability of Conexiones for Latina Mothers with Advanced Cancer?
A study in which Latina mothers diagnosed with advanced cancer complete the Conexiones education sessions and evaluate:
- What they liked or disliked about the sessions
- Whether Conexiones is relevant to their experience with advanced cancer
- What parts of the sessions were difficult for them to complete
- What additional information or changes they would like
About the study:
- Free to participants
- Available in English and Spanish
- Complete a brief survey
