Stakeholder-Engaged Development and Evaluation of a Screening Approach for Sexual Dysfunction in Adolescent and Young Adult Patients With and Surviving Childhood Cancer
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
Prior research determined adolescent and young adult-aged childhood cancer survivor (AYA-CCS) and medical provider acceptability of the SexFS Brief in a controlled research setting. Development of an acceptable, effective, and feasible screening approach will result in improved recognition of SD in AYA patients with and surviving childhood cancer.
Description
Detailed Description: To adhere to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Adolescent and young adult (AYA) and Survivorship Guidelines, the Investigator will be developing and implementing a standardized screening approach for sexual function using the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) for Sexual Function and Satisfaction (SexFS) Brief. The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop and pilot test a patient-centered approach to assessing AYA patients with and surviving childhood cancer (age 15-24) for SD. Prior to the clinical trial, Aim 1 of this st…

Interventions
- BehavioralSexual Function Screening Approach
The screening approach will consist of: 1. Standardized use of the PROMIS SexFS Brief in a clinic setting. This tool assesses sexual interest/desire, arousal, discomfort/pain, climax, and satisfaction, among other SD concerns and has comparable sex-specific versions. It has been validated in adult cancer populations. 2. An implementation package to aid in successful implementation. The implementation package will be finalized in the non-trial portion of this study, which will include iterative intervention adaptation. The protocol will be amended as needed to include any relevant updates to the screening approach. Some components may vary per site.
