This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $398,207 to The Washington University in St. Louis to develop and test a multilevel intervention to improve interdisciplinary communication quality in low-resource pediatric oncology hospitals. The project aims to: 1) evaluate the relationship between communication quality and structure around patient deterioration, 2) identify strategies to improve communication quality in low-resource settings, and 3) pilot an intervention to enhance communication quality in five diverse low-resource childhood cancer centers. The work will leverage prior collaborations with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is receiving a $250,365 sub-award to contribute expertise in clinical research in low- and middle-income settings, patient deterioration, and conducting large studies within the St. Jude Global Network. The ultimate goal is to improve interdisciplinary communication and, in turn, clinical outcomes for children with cancer in hospitals globally, advancing health equity.
