Cancer treatments have improved survival for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, but may affect fertility and cause sexual dysfunction. Our overall aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of short- and long-term reproductive and sexual health outcomes and care among AYA survivors at both population- and survivor-levels.
Using a mixed-methods design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, and involving AYA cancer survivors as partners, our specific aims are to: i) evaluate reproductive and sexual health outcomes among AYA cancer survivors; ii) understand experiences of AYA cancer survivors with reproductive and sexual health outcomes and healthcare during and after cancer treatment; and iii) identify priorities for improving reproductive and sexual healthcare for AYA cancer survivors.
