ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

Opening the Conversation Study

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Young adult survivors of breast and gynecologic cancer face a number of challenges, including interrupted life plans. As many as two-thirds of these young survivors experience negative effects of cancer and cancer treatment on their reproductive health, including sexual function and ability to have children. These are among the most distressing aspects of life after cancer for young survivors and their partners, and when left unaddressed, lead to poorer mental health and quality of life. Yet, surprisingly, evidence-based programs are not available to help young couples manage this aspect of life after cancer. In this study, we will adapt and evaluate an intervention designed to help young couples cope with and communicate about cancer-related reproductive and sexual health concerns.
