Objective. To evaluate the longitudinal impact of a 9-month text message intervention on participant adherence beyond the intervention to highly effective contraceptive methods among urban adolescent and young adult women enrolled in the DepoText randomized control trial (RCT). Study Design. Retrospective longitudinal cohort study of long-term follow-up data from the DepoText RCT. Sixty-seven female participants (aged 13-21 years) using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) were recruited from an urban academic adolescent practice in Baltimore, Maryland. The principal outcome measured was a comparison of contraceptive method choice between the control and intervention groups during the 20 months postintervention. Results. Intervention participants were 3.65 times more likely to continue using DMPA or a more efficacious method at the 20-month postintervention evaluation (odds ratio 3.65, 95% CI 1.26-10.08; P = .015). Conclusion. Participation in the DepoText trial was associated with continued use of DMPA or a more effective contraceptive method almost 20 months after the intervention exposure ended.

Abstract Purpose The majority of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) are at risk of late effects but may not receive long-term follow-up care for these. Here, we investigated (1) self-reported late effects, (2) long-term follow-up care, and (3) factors associated with receiving follow-up care in a population-based sample of Norwegian long-term CAYACS. Methods Survivors were identified by the Cancer Registry of Norway. All > 5-year survivors diagnosed between 1985 and 2009 with childhood cancer (CCS, 0–18 years old, excluding CNS), breast cancer (BC, stages I–III), colorectal cancer (CRC), leukemias (LEUK), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or malignant melanoma (MM) at age 19–39 years were mailed a questionnaire (NOR-CAYACS study). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to analyze occurrence of late effects, long-term follow-up care for these, and associated factors. Results Of 2104 responding survivors, 1889 were eligible for analyses. Of these, 68% were females, with a mean age of 43 years at survey, on average 17 years since diagnosis, and diagnosed with CCS (31%), BC (26%), CRC (8%), NHL (12%), LEUK (7%), and MM (16%). Overall, 61.5% reported the experience of at least one late effect, the most common being concentration/memory problems (28.1%) and fatigue (25.2%). Sixty-nine percent reported not having received long-term follow-up care focusing on late effects. Lower age at survey (p = 0.001), higher education (p = 0.012), and increasing number of late effects (p = < 0.001) were associated with increased likelihood of follow-up care in the multivariate model. Conclusions The majority of survivors reported at least one late effect, but not receiving specific follow-up care for these. This indicates a need for structured models of long-term follow-up to ensure adequate access to care.

9539 Background and Purpose: Prevalence of long term survivors of pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers is increasing. In BC we are using a multidimensional population approach to address research and care for these survivors. Information on trends in prevalence of survivors and use of physician services are presented. Methods: We have identified a cohort of patients under 25, diagnosed from population registries since 1970, and linked their records with person-based longitudinal records of health utilization. Results: Prevalence rate of cancer survivors aged 0–59 years, originally diagnosed under age 25, increased 5 fold between 1975 and 2005, from 26 per 100,000 to 147 per 100,000; 78% were aged 20 or older. A total subgroup of 3,787 individuals surviving five years or more, diagnosed between 1970 and 1995, were identified; 2,590 (68%) of these were linked to physician visit records (excluding visits within BC's Children's Hospital) from 1986 to 2000. In year 2000, 77% of survivors had at least one physician visit; 75% of survivors saw a family physician (FP), and 44% of survivors visited a specialist physician with a specialty that could be related to a late effect. Between 1986 and 2000 survivor prevalence increased 3.3% per year; total visits by survivors to FPs increased by 11.6% per year and by 10.6% per year to specialists. In 1986, 66% of physician visits were for patients older than 20 which increased to 79% by 2000. A provincial pediatric oncology network consisting of oncologists and community care representatives has been established to implement changes to long-term follow up policy. Conclusion: The prevalence rate and utilization of health services among survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers continues to escalate. Research results, along with other published literature, will inform the development of policy and practice within the BC Network. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
