Summary
In Australia, one young person aged 15-29 is diagnosed with cancer every six hours. Psychological disorders are also most likely to be first experienced in this life stage. This research addresses three understudied issues for this vulnerable group: health literacy (how well they understand and manage health information) at diagnosis, psychological adjustment after cancer treatment completion, and distress, communication and decision making when a young person’s cancer cannot be cured.
