IMPACT Study: Improving Access to Rehabilitation Throughout the Continuum of Cancer Care for Young Children with Brain Tumors

IMPACT Study Banner

What is IMPACT?

IMPACT includes multiple phases:

  1. Process mapping to document how rehabilitation is integrated into oncology care for young children with brain tumors.
  2. Identification of points where a potential breakdown exists in the system and opportunities to enhance care.
  3. Identification of strategies to enhance rehabilitation care processes.

 

Interested in Participating?

We are working with oncology and rehabilitation clinicians at Children’s Hospital Colorado, caregivers of young children (0-5 years) with brain tumors, and long-term survivors of early childhood brain tumors.

Caregiver participants must:

  • Be the parent, caregiver, or legal guardian of a child diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor between 0-5 years of age who received oncology care at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
  • Speak English
  • Have access to the Internet or can attend an in-person workshop session at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Survivor participants must:

  • Be diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor between 0-5 years of age.
  • Received oncology care at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
  • Be 12 years or older currently.
