This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) for $699,517 aims to address financial hardship among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors aged 15-39 years. The award will fund a randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a multilevel intervention called FINFIT, which combines an educational program (CHAT) and a resource coordination program (LIFT) to improve AYAs' health insurance literacy and mitigate financial hardship. The study will be conducted by the lead institution, Wake Forest University Health Sciences, in partnership with a subrecipient, Brown University, which will provide biostatistical expertise and support. This project seeks to generate evidence to guide future efforts to scale up the FINFIT intervention and address the unique financial challenges faced by the growing population of AYA cancer survivors.
