Multi-component reproductive health care intervention
BehavioralThe multi-component reproductive health care intervention includes: 1. Young cancer patients presenting to oncology visits will complete a clinic-based reproductive health needs screen with a member of the clinical team. This needs screen assesses i) desire to have a child in the future and ii) need for contraception. 2. Reproductive health patient navigation consists of one telehealth or in-person session with a social worker to: i) assess the patient's reproductive health needs, ii) provide individualized patient education and counseling on a) infertility risk related to cancer type and treatment and b) screening and management strategies for reproductive health needs, iii) provide support with the goal of engaging in goal-concordant reproductive health care. 3. Telehealth reproductive health consultation will occur between the patient and reproductive specialist. Each consultation is estimated to be 1 hour.

Primary outcomes
Proportion of patient's engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care
Study staff will be trained to abstract the primary outcome from the patient's medical records using standardized case report forms. Engagement in goal-concordant reproductive health care will be assigned to patients who undergo: 1) reproductive health needs screen and have no needs, OR 2) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, and have no further needs; OR 3) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, have a need, undergo a telehealth reproductive health consultation, and have no reproductive health service needs; OR 4) reproductive health needs screen, complete a navigation session and receive reproductive health counseling and management strategies, have a need, undergo a telehealth reproductive health consultation, have a reproductive health service needs, and uptake appropriate services.
