Study Summary

This trial studies a high-intensity parenting intervention program for Latino children with acute leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma to see if it results in better learning and school outcomes than a standard lower intensity intervention program.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Latino children aged 5-12 who have been treated for acute leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma, and their parents/caregivers. The caregivers must be the primary ones, in daily contact with the child, self-identify as Hispanic/Latino, and speak Spanish. Children should understand English and be enrolled in school. Those with severe neurodevelopmental disorders or involved in similar studies are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a high-intensity parenting program aimed at improving learning and school functioning in Latino children post-leukemia treatment. It compares this intensive training for parents on 'pro-learning' behaviors to a standard lower intensity intervention to see which yields better educational outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, traditional side effects like those seen with medications are not applicable here. However, there may be stress or emotional impacts related to participation in such programs.
