This study aimed to characterize unmet reproductive health needs of female young adult survivors of childhood cancer (YASCC), as understood by oncology providers (N = 10) caring for this patient population. Providers completed brief online questionnaires and a one-time semi-structured interview. Descriptive statistics characterized quantitative data, and rapid qualitative analysis identified themes in interview data. In survey data, providers rated fertility as a top concern among YASCC. Qualitative data identified specific under-addressed reproductive and sexual health information needs for patients and also for their providers. The results provide preliminary knowledge to inform the development of behavioral interventions to address patients' unmet needs.
