Trial Comparing Active Intervention At Diagnosis With Usual Care to Improve Psycho-social Care in AYAO

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Active Intervention at Diagnosis With Usual Care to Improve the Psycho-social Care in the Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (AYAO) Population

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) patients experience significant distress in specific areas at diagnosis. The investigators hypothesize that providing developmentally-appropriate AYA-specific psychosocial care, with an individualized multi-disciplinary program will alleviate this distress, as well as improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The investigators' primary aim is to evaluate the impact of psychosocial interventions on HRQOL. The secondary aims are to firstly identify the types of psychosocial distress experienced and secondly, to assess the feasibility of implementing a psychosocial screening and intervention program amongst AYA patients newly diagnosed with cancer.
