Improving reproductive health care for young cancer survivors in rural areas

Who could benefit from this research

What this research studies

This research aims to address the unmet reproductive health care needs of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors in Imperial County, a rural and underserved area. The project will develop and test a multi-component intervention that includes creating personalized reproductive health summaries, providing navigation support, and offering telehealth consultations. By engaging with AYA survivors and healthcare providers, the research will adapt these resources to meet the cultural and informational needs of the predominantly Hispanic population. The goal is to enhance access to reproductive health care and improve outcomes for young cancer survivors.
