About

This is a qualitative study that will explore the experiences of school reentry following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) in children ages 10-16 years of age, their parents, teachers and primary PBMT(Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant) providers. This study will involve four focus groups: children post -transplant, parents, teachers and PBMT providers in an effort to understand the successes and challenges of returning to school following HSCT.
