An in-depth understanding of the ethical issues and social determinants of health impacting the experiences of families and children living with this condition is critical to improving care delivery. We identified the ethical tensions faced by families caring for children with spinal muscular atrophy as well as the influence of social determinants of health in relation to their perception of novel disease-modifying therapies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Qualitative study including semi-structured interviews with caregivers of children with spinal muscular atrophy who received disease-modifying therapies.
