RECRUITING

Fast Track to Fertility

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

The Fast Track to Fertility (FTF) program is an algorithmic text messaging communication and patient education platform designed to improve the efficiency the fertility workup. The initial pilot program resulted in an approximately 50% reduction in the time taken to complete the diagnostic workup. Since the pilot program, the investigators have enhanced the FTF Program (v2.0) beyond the texting platform, incorporating educational videos to increase patient knowledge and autonomy in the workup and treatment of infertility. This protocol pertains to a randomized controlled quality improvement initiative to measure the impact of the FTF v2.0 Program on fertility workup completion, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
