The Australian New Zealand Consortium in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Oncofertility action plan.

International and national oncofertility networks, including the US-led Oncofertility Consortium, FertiProtekt, and the Danish Network, have played pivotal roles in advancing the discipline of oncofertility over the last decade. Many other countries lack a shared approach to pediatric oncofertility health service delivery. This study aims to describe baseline oncofertility practices at Australian New Zealand Children's Haematology/Oncology Group centers in 2019-2021, describe binational priorities for care, and propose a 5-year action plan for best practice to be implemented by the newly formed Australian New Zealand Consortium in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults (CAYA) Oncofertility (ANZCO).

"I Don't Have to be Sick to Still Be Worthy": The Barriers Experienced by Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors in New Zealand.

To identify the spectrum and nature of survivorship barriers experienced by New Zealand's adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivor population. In addition, we explore associations between survivorship barriers and sociodemographic characteristics, cancer type, and day-to-day happiness following the end of treatment. Participants were recruited for the online survey from AYA cancer service patient databases.

The botanical biofiltration of volatile organic compounds and particulate matter derived from cigarette smoke.

Despite the growing use of control measures, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) remains a significant pollutant source in indoor air in many areas of the world. Current control methods for reducing ETS exposure are inadequate to protect public health in environments where cigarettes are smoked. An alternative solution is botanical biofiltration which has previously been shown to lower concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM) from a range of polluted air streams.

Health professionals' self-identified knowledge, barriers and educational needs regarding identification and management of adolescent and young adult cancer in New Zealand.

Aim: To explore primary healthcare professionals' (PHPs') knowledge and educational needs regarding identification and referral of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with suspected cancer in New Zealand.

Method: An anonymous online survey targeting PHPs was distributed through health networks during March-August 2019. The survey covered demographics, knowledge of AYA cancer and related topics and preferred sources of AYA cancer information, which includes professional development.
