Intervening on Women's Health for Rural Young Cancer Survivors

August 26, 2026 updated by: Hui-Chun Irene Su, University of California, San Diego
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a multi-component intervention to improve young female cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of the intervention will result in increased young cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Multi-component intervention
After the intervention implementation, all cancer patients presenting to oncology clinical visits that meet eligibility criteria will receive the multi-component intervention.
Behavioral: Multi-component reproductive health care intervention

The multi-component reproductive health care intervention includes:

  1. Young cancer patients presenting to oncology visits will complete a clinic-based reproductive health needs screen with a member of the clinical team. This needs screen assesses i) desire to have a child in the future and ii) need for contraception.
  2. Reproductive health patient navigation consists of one telehealth or in-person session with a social worker to: i) assess the patient's reproductive health needs, ii) provide individualized patient education and counseling on a) infertility risk related to cancer type and treatment and b) screening and management strategies for reproductive health needs, iii) provide support with the goal of engaging in goal-concordant reproductive health care.
  3. Telehealth reproductive health consultation will occur between the patient and reproductive specialist. Each consultation is estimated to be 1 hour.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patient's engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care
Time Frame: 12 weeks after oncology visit
Study staff will be trained to abstract the primary outcome from the patient's medical records using standardized case report forms. Engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care will be assigned to patients who undergo: 1) reproductive health needs screen and have no needs, OR 2) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, and have no further needs; OR 3) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, have a need, undergo a telehealth reproductive health consultation, and have no reproductive health service needs; OR 4) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, have a need, undergo a telehealth reproductive health consultation, have a reproductive health service needs, and uptake appropriate services.
