Understanding Reproductive Health among Survivors of Paediatric and Young adults (URHSPY) cancers in Uganda: A mixed method study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although reproductive failure after cancer treatment in children and young adults has been extensively described in high-income countries, there is a paucity of data in low-income settings. In addition, patient, parent, or health worker experiences, perspectives, and attitudes toward the risk of reproductive failure among young cancer patients in these settings are unknown. This study will describe the extent of reproductive morbidity associated with cancer treatment among childhood and young adult cancer survivors in Uganda. In addition, we aim to explore the contextual enablers and barriers to addressing cancer treatment-related reproductive morbidity in Uganda.

Methods

This is an explanatory sequential mixed-method study. The quantitative phase will be a survey
