About this study

Adolescents and young Adults (AYA) Needs Assessment & Service Bridge (AYA NA-SB) includes a holistic Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) assessing AYAs' physical, psychosocial and practical needs and a collection of referral pathways for connecting AYAs to services and resources based on the needs they report.

To assess the implementation of AYA NA-SB, the study team will pilot AYA NA-SB in the North Carolina Cancer Hospital (NCCH)/ UNC Children's Hospital, with a primary focus on implementation outcomes (i.e., feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity). To establish proof-of-concept for AYA NA-SB, the study team will use pilot data to generate preliminary evidence on the extent to which AYA NA-SB addresses AYAs' reported needs.

Treatment and study plan

AYA NA-SB Questionnaire

Other

Questionnaire identifying cancer needs so that providers can connect subjects with services that might address them.

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) AYA

    Time frame: Week 5

    Questionnaire measuring the extent to which AYA NA-SB can be successfully used in cancer programs. Score ranges from 1 to 5 with higher score denoting higher feasibility.

  2. Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) AYA

    Time frame: Week 12

    Questionnaire measuring perception of whether AYA-NA-SB is agreeable, palatable, or satisfactory to users. Score ranges from 1 to 5 with a higher score denoting higher acceptability.

  3. Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) AYA

    Time frame: Week 5

    Questionnaire measuring perception of AYA-NA-SB's fit, relevance, or compatibility with the context in which it will be used. Score ranges from 1 to 5 with a higher score denoting higher appropriateness

  4. Number of Participants Who Received Services

    Time frame: Week 12

    Care coordination will be assessed by the proportion of Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) who reported needs who received services from across disciplines to address reported needs within one month of needs assessment completion.

  5. Needs Met Questionnaire

    Time frame: Week 12

    Questionnaire assessing, among AYAs who reported needs and reported receiving follow-up care, AYAs' perception of the degree to which their needs were adequately addressed during the study period. Scores range from 1 to 5 where higher scores denote that needs were met.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of AYA Needs

    Time frame: Week 12

    Average number of needs reported by AYAs.
