GuardiansCan
The overall goal is to respond to poor adherence to children’s follow-up care among guardians of children treated for cancer in Tanzania with the help of mobile health technology. The aims are to: (i) explore guardians’ needs and preferences concerning the provision of follow-up care reminders, information, and emotional support; (ii) co-design an e-Mental Health intervention providing guardians with follow-up care reminders, relevant information, and emotional support and acceptable and relevant procedures for a controlled evaluation of the intervention; and (iii) examine clinical, methodological, and procedural uncertainties associated with the intervention and study methods to inform the design and conduct of a future pilot randomized controlled trial of the e-Mental Health intervention.
CHANGE-pilot and CHANGE
The overall goal is to increase access to psychological support for parents of children treated for cancer in Sweden. Support is provided with EJDeR (intErnetbaserad sJälvhjälp för förälDrar till barn som avslutat en behandling mot canceR). EJDeR is a co-created, gender-tailored, guided, low intensity cognitive behavioural therapy self-help, e-Mental health intervention for parents experiencing symptoms of depression and/or generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) related to their child’s cancer disease. The aims are to: (i) examine uncertainties associated with design and conduct of a superiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) of EJDeR plus treatment as usual (TAU) vs TAU for treatment of symptoms of depression and/or GAD in parents of children treated for cancer in a pilot RCT (CHANGE-pilot); (ii) examine the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of EJDeR plus TAU vs TAU for treatment of symptoms of depression and/or GAD in parents of children treated for cancer; and explore relationships between intervention implementation, mechanisms of impact, context, and outcomes in a superiority RCT (CHANGE).
