Abstract:
What's new? Childhood cancer significantly impacts children and their families emotionally and socioeconomically. Parents often struggle to fulfill work obligations while caring for their children and shouldering emotional burdens. The findings of the present study highlight the importance of support interventions along a child's cancer trajectory in preventing adverse socioeconomic outcomes. Analyses of data from nationwide registries shows that adverse socioeconomic effects were most pronounced among families with children diagnosed with cancer between 1982 and 1999. Mothers suffered the greatest socioeconomic loss. Adverse effects declined from 2000‐2014, likely owing to improvements in Denmark's welfare system to support families with severely ill children.
