NOURISH-ALL: Healthy Weight Intervention for Families During ALL Treatment

This study is testing an intervention called NOURISH-ALL, which is designed to help families of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) maintain a healthy weight and cope with stress during early treatment. It builds on a previous program for cancer survivors. The study aims to see how well families engage with the NOURISH-ALL program, specifically looking at how many people join, how many stay in the study, and how much of the program they complete. This study is for children aged 2-12 who have ALL, have finished the first phase of treatment (induction), and are not yet in the maintenance phase. Both the child and their primary caregiver must speak English. The study plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning everyone receives the NOURISH-ALL intervention. It is a pilot study to test engagement with the program.
What's involved
Participants will take part in a 6-session family intervention and have data collected at three time points: at the start, after the intervention (Week 6), and at a follow-up (Month 6).
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 6 months after the intervention ends.
