Utilizing EHR portal screenings for adverse social determinants of health enables easier identification of health-related social needs among adolescents and young adults with cancer. Screenings were implemented in two oncology clinics in New York City and data captured were used to match potential AYAs to intervention studies in hopes of delivering more equitable care. Additionally, qualitative data from semi-structured interviews were collected to understand perspectives of the screening procedures and how to improve the procedures.
