Well-designed patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are essential to better understand and identify the multiple, significant physical and psychosocial needs of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. However, description is not enough and we need to identify actionable strategies for meeting AYAs’ needs and reducing adverse outcomes. In this talk, Dr. Salsman will highlight recent efforts to: (1) develop new measures of financial hardship for AYAs and their caregivers, (2) identify when financial hardship is most salient and for which group of AYAs, and (3) refine a multi-level strategy to address financial hardship among AYAs treated in community-based oncology practices.
