Abstract
This chapter discusses the assessment of family psychosocial risks in pediatric cancer. Screening is the first step in assuring that the psychosocial risks and resiliencies of all families entering pediatric healthcare systems are detected early in the course of care. When linked to a conceptual model for delivering care, such as the Pediatric Preventative Psychosocial Health Model (PPPHM), clinical pathways can be developed and tested. Ideally screening is a clinical activity supported by all members of the healthcare team, including the patient and family, and can be completed in a manner that is consistent with family-centered care and appreciative of the variability in resources available across settings.
