Summary
This study tests a digital tool called ReSPECT that helps teens and young adults with cancer talk to their doctors about sexual and reproductive health. The tool includes a pre-visit checklist and an informational website. Researchers want to see if it is practical and helpful for patients and clinicians. Thirty participants aged 15-25 will use the tool during a clinic visit and provide feedback through surveys and interviews.
