Objective: This is a pilot, exploratory study designed to obtain greater understanding about the unique experiences of international families, mostly Latino families, who choose to participate in clinical research or seek medical treatment in the United States. Due to the lack of research on this phenomenon, the study will utilize qualitative methods to extrapolate the main themes that characterize this experience. The end goal of the study is to identify unique risk and protective factors that link directly to feasible interventions, so that we can provide this growing population with the standard of care expected by the mission of the NIH.
