Abstract
This study aimed to characterize unmet reproductive health needs of female young adult survivors of childhood cancer (YASCC), as understood by oncology providers (N = 10) caring for this patient population. Providers completed brief online questionnaires and a one-time semi-structured interview. Descriptive statistics characterized quantitative data, and rapid qualitative analysis identified themes in interview data. In survey data, providers rated fertility as a top concern among YASCC. Qualitative data identified specific under-addressed reproductive and sexual health information needs for patients and also for their providers. The results provide preliminary knowledge to inform the development of behavioral interventions to address patients' unmet needs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
