| description | <p class="p1"><strong>Background and objectives: </strong>Despite the availability of healthcare and community services dedicated to cancer survivors, these remain underutilized by young adults living with cancer (YAC; aged 18-39). A workshop was organized in Montréal, Canada, to identify the needs of YAC during their post-treatment transition period and explore existing services dedicated to YAC.</p><p class="p4"><strong>Methods:</strong> We recruited seventeen stakeholders (N = 17), including seven YAC, to participate in a one-day workshop to consult about best approaches and practices to meet the needs of YAC, post-treatment. All discussions were transcribed, and a thematic qualitative analysis was performed.</p><p class="p4"><strong>Results:</strong> Two main findings were identified: differences and similarities among stakeholders about perceptions of post-treatment needs; and suggestions to meet YAC needs following treatment.</p><p class="p4"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Results demonstrate the importance of collaboration among multiple stakeholders, including YAC, when designing services for YAC. Results include suggestions to improve services available through community or healthcare centres.</p><p class="p5">Keywords: patient engagement, community engagement, survivorship, young adult, cancer, healthcare services</p> |
