Music therapy, a frequently used arts-based therapy, has become standard palliative care in many pediatric and adult hospitals; however, few studies have examined the mechanisms by which music therapy interventions work. This study investigates behavioral, social, and psychological factors that may explain how an Active Music Engagement (AME) intervention (i.e., an interactive, music-based play intervention) works to manage emotional distress and improve positive health outcomes in parents and young children with cancer during treatment. Findings will provide scientific and clinically relevant practice knowledge to guide delivery of music therapy as a complementary therapy.
Music therapy, a frequently used arts-based therapy, has become standard palliative care in many pediatric and adult hospitals; however, few studies have examined mechanisms by which music therapy interventions work.Based on the Contextual Support Model of Music Therapy, the investigators developed and tested the Active Music Engagement (AME) intervention, establishing it as a feasible and acceptable intervention that reduces emotional distress in young children (ages 3-8) hospitalized for cancer treatment.Emotional distress in young children with cancer during acute treatment and their parents is a prevalent,persistent problem associated with physical symptom distress and diminished quality of life and family function. The music therapist-led AME uses music-based play and parent education/support (music play resource kit; tip sheets), is easy to implement, and teaches parents/children how to therapeutically use a familiar activity to manage distress. The purpose of this two group randomized controlled trial is to identify behavioral, sociological, and psychological variables contributing to positive outcomes observed in previous AME studies (i.e., mediators) and identify for whom the intervention works (i.e., moderators). The investigators will examine proximal mediators of child engagement and parent-child interaction and distal mediators of perceived family normalcy, parent confidence (self-efficacy) about their ability to support their child during treatment, and independent parent/child use of music and play activities to manage distress during hospitalization. The investigators hypothesize these factors mediate change in outcomes of child emotional distress, physical symptom distress, and quality of life; parent emotional/traumatic distress and quality of life; and family function. Specific aims are to examine: 1) effects of proximal and distal mediators of AME on young child/parent outcomes; 2) moderators of AME on young child/parent distress; 3) explore child physical symptom distress (pain, fatigue, nausea) in mediation and moderation models. Child/parent dyads (n=184) will be stratified by age and randomized in blocks of 6 to AME or audio-storybooks; each group will receive three 45-minute sessions with a credentialed music therapist for 3 consecutive days with data collection at baseline, post-intervention, and 30 days later. Mediation effects will be estimated using ANCOVA, fitting appropriate mediation models using MPlus and then testing indirect effects using the percentile bootstrap approach to estimate indirect effect. Moderation effects will be tested by including appropriate interaction terms of the potential moderator with the intervention indicator in our models.

| Parent Self-Efficacy - Parental Beliefs Scale (PBS). | Parent Self-Efficacy is assessed through the Parental Beliefs Scale (PBS) for Hospitalized Children, a 20-item scale that measures parental beliefs about their confidence in anticipating changes in their hospitalized child's behavior and confidence in their parental role during hospitalization. Scores range from 20-100, with higher scores indicating more positive beliefs. | Time 2(post-session 3 on day 3) and Time 3 (30-days post-session 3, approximately 33 days) |
| Child Emotional Distress - Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) | Child Emotional Distress is assessed through the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF98) Mental Health Subscale (Landgraf et al., 1999).

Scores range from 16 to 80 with lower scores indicating better mental health. | Time 2(post-session 3 on day 3) and Time 3 (30-days post-session 3, approximately 33 days) |

Participants in this study were enrolled as a dyad (child/parent). Totals listed below represent the numbers of dyads enrolled.
One dyad of the 137 total dyads enrolled came off study prior to completing baseline measures due to the child's toxicity/side effects of cancer treatment.
Participants were recruited as dyads (child/parent) at 4 sites from September of 2016 through February of 2020. The first participant was enrolled on September 26, 2016 and the last participant was enrolled on February 20, 2020.
