Navigation Intervention for Adolescent and Young Adult Cance...

About this study

The investigators propose to: 1) Adapt an evidence-based cancer-focused patient navigation (PN) program for the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivor population; and 2) Plan and conduct an effectiveness-implementation trial of this program within Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC). PLEASE NOTE: This study is awarded in two phases. The UG3 phase has been awarded for the first two years; upon successful completion of this phase by meeting pre-defined milestones, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) will provide funding for the second phase of the study (Years 3-6), which will allow our team to conduct a trial to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the adapted PN program for the AYA cancer survivor population. This application is focused on the initial UG3 phase and will update the protocol for the UH3 trial upon successful completion of the UG3 milestones and receipt of the UH3 award. The primary objectives in the UG3 phase of the study are to adapt and tailor an existing PN program to meet the needs of AYA cancer survivors and the local clinical context via (a) interviews with key stakeholders (patients, clinicians, administrators) and (b) guidance from our AYA Primary Care Survivorship Council. The investigators will conduct a pilot study of the adapted PN program and refine the program to enhance acceptability to patients and clinicians, enhance feasibility and effectiveness, and develop and pilot evaluation tools and methods prior to the start of the UH3 phase of the trial, which will be a larger trial. Objectives will be updated for the UH3 phase once awarded.
