Improving Communication for Young Cancer Patients
This study is testing a new web-based tool called ReSPECT (Reproductive and Sexual Health Patient Education and Communication Tool). ReSPECT aims to help young people (ages 15-25) with cancer talk more easily with their doctors about sexual and reproductive health. The tool includes a questionnaire for patients, educational information, and guidance for clinicians. The main goal is to see if ReSPECT is practical to use, acceptable to patients and doctors, and easy to understand. This study is for adolescents and young adults who have a cancer diagnosis and are currently receiving cancer treatment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 60 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive the ReSPECT tool. It is a single-arm study, meaning all participants will use the intervention.
- What's involved
- You will complete surveys at the beginning of the study, immediately after using ReSPECT, and again two months after joining. You may also be invited to a short interview after using the tool.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for two months after enrolling in the study.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility of implementing the ReSPECT intervention.2 months
Feasibility will be based on patient recruitment and completion of the intervention. The intervention will be considered feasible if AYA recruitment is greater than or equal to 60% and if greater than or equal to 80% of consented AYAs complete the intervention (retention). Intervention completion will be defined as AYA completion of the pre-visit questionnaire and post-intervention survey.
- Acceptability of the ReSPECT intervention.2 months
The intervention will be considered acceptable if greater than or equal to 70% of AYA and clinician participants rate ReSPECT as acceptable (average score of 4 or higher) on the Lyon Satisfaction Questionnaire, adapted for this study, which includes a 10-item satisfaction questionnaire where 1 is strongly disagree and 5 is strongly agree. Subjects will report via survey after the healthcare visit.
- Usability of the ReSPECT intervention.2 months
The intervention will be considered usable/sustainable if greater than or equal to 70% of AYA and clinician participants rate ReSPECT as usable (average score of 4 or higher) on the Usability/Sustainability of Intervention Scale, adapted for this study, on a 4-item usability questionnaire where 1 is strongly disagree and 5 is completely agree. Subjects will report via survey after the healthcare visit.
- Perceived utility of the ReSPECT intervention.2 months
Through qualitative interviews, participants will be asked for their perceptions on the impact of ReSPECT in promoting SRH communication in the outpatient clinic setting.
