• Research summary

  This study aims to investigate the experience of caring for a childhood brain tumour survivor as they enter adolescents and early adulthood.
  Parents of late adolescents/young adults (15-21) who had a childhood brain tumour (before age 12) will be invited to participate in a one-off interview. Recruitment will take place at the Royal Marsden Hospital during routine out-patient appointments. The interview will focus on the caregiver's experience of caring, their own mental health, strengths/resilience factors and support needs.
