NCT ID NCT06664034
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a program to help young female cancer survivors in rural Imperial County, California, get reproductive health care that matches their personal goals. The program includes a quick needs assessment during oncology visits, followed by a session with a social worker to provide education and support. The study will enroll 64 women to see if this approach is feasible and helps them get the care they want.
