METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis of the 2013 to 2015 National Health Interview Survey was performed. N = 953 patients who were diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15 and 39 years were identified, and a comparison group was created using propensity scores.

Covariates included demographics, insurance status, financial factors (eg, out-of-pocket health care expenditures), and health-related factors (eg, comorbidity and mental distress).

RESULTS: Survivors were more likely to report nonadherence than the comparison group (23.8% vs 14.3%; P
