Purpose: Researchers at the Children’s Brain Cancer Centre and the Queensland University of Technology are conducting a study to understand the school and school (re)entry experiences and needs of children with a brain tumour and their families.
Participants: The research team is inviting parents/guardians of a child/adolescent (age 5-15 years) diagnosed with a brain tumour within the last 20 months to complete one to three online surveys in your own time.
Purpose: Little Big Steps and the University of New South Wales invite you to participate in a 10-minute anonymous survey, which will help to inform the development of a new digital resource to support children and young people affected by cancer to stay active in a safe and enjoyable way.
Participants: Young people aged 8–25 who were diagnosed with cancer or a benign tumour before the age of 18, are currently receiving active cancer treatment or have completed treatment; can read and understand English. Also, the parents and caregivers of a young person who was diagnosed with childhood cancer.
