The current study will assess the acceptability and feasibility of the CareMeds intervention with a larger sample (N = 100) across multiple sites in Buffalo, NY, and Atlanta, GA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a pilot randomized controlled trial of the CareMeds program to assess feasibility and obtain preliminary efficacy data among families of young children (ages 3-9) with ALL. The objective of this aim is to implement our study procedures and study conditions (CareMeds vs. usual care control). We hypothesize that pilot findings will support the feasibility of the intervention and suggest important improvements in our behavioral secondary outcomes (i.e., behavioral parenting skills, medication adherence
