The Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Nursing Discipline developed expert consensus recommendations and resources to guide the delivery of new diagnosis education across its member institutions. Current new diagnosis education practices across COG member institutions are unknown. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of COG nurses between July and October 2023 to elicit current practices to deliver new diagnosis education to families across COG institutions. Data were collected and managed using REDCap electronic data capture tools. Individual responses from single institutions were averaged as a single institution-level response.
