A new paper in JNCI Cancer Spectrum by the Kirchhoff Research Group indicates that many survivors of adolescent and young adult cancers hesitate to obtain COVID-19 vaccinations. @annersck @AustinH2O_ #AYAcancer #COVID19Vaccine #VaccineHesitancy eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2…

@DrLizSalerno @ASPrevOnc I love seeing barriers to lifestyle interventions addressed like this! Can you speak to the attrition rate among the participants and any strategies you used to promote completion of the program?

@WernliKarenJ @ASPrevOnc Yes! AYAs are often very new to this realm of health care. Part of the intervention includes walking through the participant's own health insurance plan so they can better understand their own costs. AYAs particularly endorsed this personalized aspect.

@ASPrevOnc Thank you to my mentors @annersck @WarnerEcho and @AustinH2O_ as well as the rest of the Kirchoff lab and @UofUMedicine This work was supported by the NCI (R01CA242729-01)

@ASPrevOnc 4/5 We modified the program with new, visual learning modalities to clarify difficult concepts and strategized with our patient navigators about how to delicately address emotional topics.The result is an intervention that is more patient-centered for AYAs. #ASPOposters2021

@ASPrevOnc 3/5 Pilot testers strongly endorsed the value of the #HIAYAchat HIEP. The participants also identified content areas that were difficult to understand or were emotionally charged material for them such as the Affordable Care Act. #ASPOposters2021

@ASPrevOnc 2/5 Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer patients (n=5) and @huntsmancancer staff (n=4) participated in pilot testing. They gave us comments about the content and clarity of materials, as well as provided feedback to the intervention facilitator. #ASPOposters2021

@ASPrevOnc 1/5 Following the work presented by @PerlaVacaL we assessed the #HIAYAchat Health Insurance Education Program (HIEP) with pilot testing. This is the Implementation Phase of intervention adaptation in the framework by Movsiyan et al, Implementation Science (2019) #ASPOposters2021
