Adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors’ preferences for screening and education of sexual function

SD is an inadequately addressed concern in AYA-CCS, and providers must familiarize themselves with AYA-CCS preferences for discussing SD to reduce communication barriers and address this unmet need. In addition to corroborating prior studies' findings such as normalizing ongoing SD conversations, this study demonstrated novel ideas for reducing barriers, including use of a notification to prepare them prior to SD conversations, favoring the use of a screening tool, and the importance of establishing rapport prior to the SD conversations.
