Predictors of Adolescent Sperm Banking: Development of a Profiling and Referral Tool

This study will identify factors predictive of sperm banking/not sperm banking in order to
design interventions for increasing fertility preservation among adolescent males newly
diagnosed with cancer. Specifically, this study aims to investigate psychological,
demographic, developmental, parent/guardian, provider, and medical factors predictive of
sperm banking outcomes among at-risk adolescents with cancer. Once these factors have been
identified, the study will develop a novel Profiling and Referral Tool. This instrument
will ultimately serve as an intervention for both healthcare providers and families through
the facilitation of appropriate referrals, and tailored interventions for decreasing
barriers to sperm banking. Finally, the feasibility of the Profiling and Referral tool will
be evaluated based on provider and family report.
