Improving Care Coordination for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer: Implementing a Bridge Between Needs and Services
Improving Care Coordination for Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer: Implementing a Bridge Between Needs and Services
The purpose of this research is to test an intervention designed to identify cancer needs and connect patients with services that address those needs. Participation in this research will involve completing 2 online surveys over the course of 1 month; each should take about 15 minutes to complete.
Adolescents and young Adults (AYA) Needs Assessment & Service Bridge (AYA NA-SB) includes a holistic Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) assessing AYAs' physical, psychosocial and practical needs and a collection of referral pathways for connecting AYAs to services and resources based on the needs they report.
To assess the implementation of AYA NA-SB, the study team will pilot AYA NA-SB in the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH)/ UNC Children's Hospital, with a primary focus on implementation outcomes (i.e., feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity). To establish proof-of-concept for AYA NA-SB, the study team will use pilot data to generate preliminary evidence on the extent to which AYA NA-SB addresses AYAs' reported needs.
