Brief Summary

Explore factors involved in decision making for patients with new or recurrent CNS tumors and their families surrounding treatment planning and clinical trial enrollment.

Conditions

Central Nervous System Cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Identify barriers to trial enrollment

  Qualitative interviews with patients and families who are considering treatment options for new or recurrent CNS tumors to identify specific barriers to full participation in treatment and clinical trial enrollment (e.g., transportation, childcare, ancillary expenses). Qualitative interviews will be structured to comprehensively address potential barriers but also open-ended to give patients and families freedom to discuss a wide range of challenges.
