AYA-NAV for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

This study, called AYA-NAV, is looking at ways to help adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (ages 15-39) with financial and social needs related to their health. The study will test a program that combines digital tools and personal support to help survivors find resources for things like financial strain, food insecurity, housing, and job support. Researchers want to see if this program can reduce financial stress and improve overall health for AYAs and their caregivers. You may be able to join if you are an AYA who has had a cancer diagnosis or started treatment within the last 6 months, or are currently on your first treatment, and speak English or Spanish. The study aims to enroll 120 participants.
