Abstract
Effective and appropriate communication is often a concern in pediatric palliative care. While the National Cancer Institute recommends open and honest conversations, questions remain about what, how, and when to communicate. Little research has explored communication preferences and strategies of children diagnosed with cancer and their parents.
