    Collapse Overview
    My team and I conduct patient oriented research on improving reproductive health outcomes in children, adolescents and young adults with cancer. These studies range from qualitative studies to observational cohorts to randomized controlled trials. Our group has characterized the unmet fertility, contraception and pregnancy health informational needs of this population, estimated the trajectory of ovarian function after cancer treatment, developed a multi-dimensional scale to measure the breadth of reproductive concerns after cancer (Reproductive Concerns After Cancer scale), and intervened on reproductive health information needs of breast cancer survivors. We have been successful in studies of geographically dispersed AYA survivors by adapting recruitment, data collection, biosample collection, and ovarian reserve measurement methods to be done remotely from survivors’ home environment. Our work has been supported by the NIH, American Cancer Society and California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP).
