@jenkinson_bec @Birthchoices @hannahdahlen @qldhealth @MidwivesACM @ranzcog This is fab work, Bec. Thank you for all you do - I imagine there was much emotional labour behind this.

So pleased to see this paper exploring quality of life, family functioning and the impacts of socioeconomic status and tumour characteristics on families of children with a brain tumour. We need more papers like this. Bravo @Researcher_Kate onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pb…

We also found an interaction between family functioning and tumour grade, with family functioning improving for those with a high grade tumour and becoming more problematic for those with a low grade tumour. #braintumour
