Brief Summary

This study seeks to develop, test, and revise an intervention designed to address financial hardship (FinFit) among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors.

Conditions

Hematopoietic Neoplasm; Malignant Solid Neoplasm; Lymphatic System Neoplasm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Combining Data Collection from Steps 1 and 2 for the Creation of FinFit Intervention Protocol

  Through the analysis of secondary outcomes (CHAT Core Functions - Step 1 LIFT Core Functions - Step 2) to develop, test, and revise an intervention designed to address financial hardship among adolescent and young adults using semi-structured interview data and analysis for the creation of protocol intervention including when, how and to whom the intervention should be delivered to.

  Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• CHAT Core Functions - Step 1

  Up to 12 months

• LIFT Core Functions - Step 2

  Up to 12 months

• Member Checking Process - Step 3

  Up to 12 months

Interventions

CHAT Core Functions OTHER

CHAT is a virtually delivered patient-level intervention designed to improve health insurance and cost-related literacy

Observational step 1

LIFT Core Functions OTHER

LIFT (Lessening the Impact of Financial Toxicity), an intervention developed to coordinate access to existing financial assistance programs.

Observational step 2

Member-Checking Process OTHER

Based on the findings from Steps 1 and 2, investigators will develop a document that outlines the points of overlap, harmony, or conflict identified by participants.

Observational step 1; Observational step 2; Observational step 3
