Information delivery was another challenge for this population. Our findings suggest, whilepatients at points received valuable information by their providers, they had a strong desirefor additional information and alternative information delivery modalities. The findings fromthis study are similar to another recent study conducted in the YA population, where it wasfound that unmet needs regarding information on their cancer and support services werecommon.18 These findings contrast findings from a recent systematic review, that examinedthe treatment decisions of older adults in oncology, and identified that older adult oncologypatients often preferred to make decisions based on recommendation of their provider, ratherthan a need for more information and a need to take an active role in healthcare decisions.29One explanation for these differences may be that the emerging YA generations have beenexposed to large amounts of electronic information throughout their lives. Thus, their needsand desires regarding information may vary from the older culture, training and expectationsof the providers delivering their care.
