Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to address barriers to psychosocial care for siblings of children with cancer by piloting a group-based telehealth program for adolescent siblings of youth with cancer. The pilot trial will be preceded by a treatment development stage during which study staff will interview English- and Spanish-speaking families and psychosocial providers to assess preferences for program content, format, timing, and cultural feasibility and acceptability, while considering ideas to minimize participation barriers. Information from interviews will inform any revisions to the proposed pilot program. Then, the new SibACCESS program will be tested with a small group of families located in Massachusetts, Delaware, or Rhode Island using video-teleconferencing technology. Families will complete exit interviews to assess program acceptability and perceived benefits.

Strong test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and convergent validity with other child PTSD measures have been established. This survey was administered only to sibling participants. Measure was scored by a total summation, scores may range from 0 to 80. \*Higher scores reflect higher levels of post-traumatic stress symptoms
