Phase N/A

This study looks at how social factors affect kids having liver transplants. A liver transplant is when a sick liver is replaced with a healthy one. Researchers will ask caregivers of these kids to answer questions and talk in interviews about social factors like money problems, understanding health info, and community support. They want to learn what makes it hard or easy for families with less money to get good health results. This information will help improve care for these families. The study will also include healthcare workers who help these kids to understand the challenges in providing care. This is an observational study, meaning no treatments will be given, just surveys and interviews.

  • Study involves surveys and interviews with caregivers and healthcare workers.
  • No medical treatment or drugs involved, just observation and questions.
  • Only English and Spanish speaking participants in the U.S. can join.
