Improving mental health and quality of life in families affected by paediatric cancer.

我的项目旨在改善受儿科癌症影响的家庭的心理健康和生活质量。该计划包括三个主题：1)试验新的行为医学干预措施，以防止不良的精神和身体健康结果；2)发现基因技术对受癌症影响的年轻人的社会心理影响；3)评估儿童癌症对家庭生活中尚未得到充分研究但至关重要的方面的影响。我的工作涵盖了癌症的整个发展轨迹，从诊断到生存或死亡。

My program aims to improve mental health and quality of life in families affected by paediatric cancer. The program covers three themes: 1) Trial of novel behavioural medicine interventions to prevent poor mental and physical health outcomes; 2) Discovery of the psychosocial impact of genetic technologies for young people affected by cancer; and 3) Evaluation of the impact of paediatric cancer on under-researched, but critical, facets of family life. My work spans the full cancer trajectory, from diagnosis to survivorship or bereavement.
