(AYA-NAV Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Aim 1: Refine the HRSN navigation model to integrate a digital platform (Findhelp.org) to meet the needs of AYAs. The investigators will conduct iterative co-design sessions with AYAs and caregivers to understand their views on the existing Findhelp.org website and the likely need for other human-to-human and digital strategies to augment platform engagement (e.g., text reminders) and to address vocational needs.Aim 2: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the refined hybrid intervention that includes digital + person-to-person HRSN navigation.Aim 3: Explore the preliminary impact of the refined hybrid intervention, compared to elevated usual care (a one-time referral to FindHelp.org alone), on reduction in financial distress (AYA and caregiver) and on AYA global health (i.e., mental, social, physical).
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
What safety data exists for AYA-NAV in young adult cancer survivors?
The research articles do not provide specific safety data for AYA-NAV or similar treatments in young adult cancer survivors. They focus on the general challenges and long-term health outcomes of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, but do not mention specific safety evaluations for AYA-NAV.12345
How is the AYA-NAV treatment different from other treatments for young adult cancer survivors?
The AYA-NAV treatment is unique because it specifically addresses the comprehensive follow-up care needs of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, focusing on their high risk for late effects of cancer-directed therapy. Unlike standard treatments, it emphasizes personalized survivorship care, considering the unique medical and psychosocial needs of this age group.26789
