About This Pediatric Cancer Study in Birmingham

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the VIDEO-PEDS intervention works to improve Goals of Care communication between clinicians and parents of children with cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the intervention improve Goals of Care documentation? Does it improve patient outcomes (including less invasive preferences for resuscitation and interventions, less hospital utilization, and more palliative care and hospice use)? Does it improve parent outcomes (including health satisfaction and feeling heard and understood per survey scores)?
