title: Challenges Conducting Qualitative Psychosocial Research for Adolescent and Young Adult Patients and Survivors.
abstract: The field of adolescent and young adult oncology (AYAO) is developing and evolving, providing fertile ground for debate, discussion, and the exchange of opinions. In the "Controversies" feature of each issue of Journal of Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology, we will pose a key AYAO question to people from various organizations, geographical locations, and professions. In this issue, we asked respondents about the challenges they encounter conducting qualitative psychosocial research for AYA patients and survivors. -Editors.
