Abstract

Adolescent and young adults (AYA) with cancer have distinct psychosocial needs, with reproductive health being a chief concern. Reproductive health includes fertility, contraception, romantic relationships, body image, sexuality and disease prevention. Along with the unique needs of AYAs with cancer, health disparities exist among sexual and gender minority (SGM) AYAs, and there is a gap in clinician training. Our NCI-funded R25 Enriching Communication skills for Health professionals in Oncofertility (ECHO) provides reproductive health communication training to psychologists, social workers, nurses, and physician assistants who provide care for AYA people diagnosed with cancer.
