McGrady READ REVIEWER RESPONSES Introduction Internationally, the considered age range of Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) cancer survivors is 15–39 years (at diagnosis) ( Desandes & Stark, 2016 ). The number of newly diagnosed AYA cancers is increasing and so too is the number of AYA living with and beyond cancer, resulting in heightened focus on survivorship needs. This recent paradigm shift in survivorship care has focused on optimising quality of life for those living with and beyond cancer, including reintegration into education and employment ( Vaz-Luis et al. , 2022 ). Physical and psychosocial sequalae experienced by AYA cancer survivors during and after cancer treatment include fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, and depression ( Baker & Syrjala, 2018 ; Ikonomidou, 2018 ; LaRosa et al. , 2017 ; Lea et al. , 2020 ; Mittal et al. , 2022 ; van Deuren et al. , 2020 ; Zebrack, 2011 ). It is commonly reported that this cohort will face ‘overwhelming’ physical and cognitive demands on their re-entry to education and employment ( Brauer et al. , 2017 ). Challenges associated with education reintegration include expedited return to keep up with peers, limited training for educators on how to best support reintegration, and the impact of altered body image during this adolescent stage ( Brauer et al. , 2017 ; Fardell et al. , 2018 ; Thompson et al. , 2015 ). While there remains partial overlap of physical and psychosocial barriers to employment reintegration for AYAs, other factors can influence this transition including returning to dependency on parents, fear of potential workplace discrimination, and workplace accommodations ( Fardell et al. , 2018 ; Husson et al. , 2018 ; Ketterl et al. , 2019 ), although these can vary depending on societal context (e.g., country-specific legislation/entitlements). In line with missed schooling and long-term side-effects of treatment, it is unsurprising that this group may under-perform academically in comparison to their peers, which in turn can lead to employment and financial difficulties in later life ( Elsbernd et al. , 2018 ). Furthermore, an international report for survivors of children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) cancer highlighted evidence that this cohort are at higher risk of lower educational achievement and unemployment in later life ( Devine et al. , 2022 ). Return to education and employment is therefore often cited as challenging by AYA cancer survivors ( Barrett et al. , 2018 ; Ikonomidou, 2018 ). The European Code of Cancer recently identified the right of all cancer survivors to fully resume educational, economic, and social roles ( Lawler et al. , 2021 ). However, a gap in current research includes education and employment reintegration, where AYAs self-identified research on return to education and work as a top priority in a UK research priority-setting exercise ( Aldiss et al. , 2019 ). This has also been recognised internationally where the need to focus on education and career development for AYA cancer survivors has been cited as a core priority ( Altherr et al. , 2023 ; National Cancer Control Programme, 2022 ). Therefore, supports to empower AYAs who have had cancer to stay or return to education and/or work is an important issue for both AYAs and society. With the view to developing education and work-related supports for AYAs with cancer in the Republic of Ireland, a scoping review of relevant interventions in relation to type, content, evaluation and impact, will be completed. Methods The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews ( Peters et al. , 2020 ). This scoping review protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) database on 21 st February 2025 and reporting will be guided in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement ( Moher et al. , 2015 ). This protocol will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for scoping reviews to ensure a systematic methodology that can be replicated. In addition, the scoping review framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) is used to structure this protocol, which suggests five steps: (i) identifying the research question, (ii) identifying relevant studies, (iii) selecting studies, (iv) charting the data, and (v) collating, summarising, analysing, and presenting results. The planned scoping review will be reported in accordance with the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) ( Tricco et al. , 2018 ). Stage one: Identifying the research question The main research question, guided using the Population-Concept-Context framework ( Peters et al. , 2020 ), is: What is the available evidence regarding non-pharmacological interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs? In this instance, population refers to AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer (diagnosed aged 15–39 years inclusive) who have had a cancer diagnosis, context refers to interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs, and context refers to any setting (acute/primary care/workplace/school/etc.) in any geographical location. The scoping review protocol has been reviewed by a patient and public involvement representative (who is also a co-author) on the research steering committee who has also informed objectives of this review. The primary aim of this scoping review is to identify and summarise the core elements (i.e., content, delivery, resources, length, and format) of non-pharmacological interventions/supports for adolescents and young adults who have had a cancer diagnosis to support return to education and/or work. Secondary objectives include: 1. To identify and summarise measures used to test the impact of these type of interventions on education and/or work and other outcomes. 2. To identify the most commonly used theoretical frameworks underpinning programmes that support return to education and/or work for AYAs. 3. To identify and describe the range of outcomes reported for non-pharmacological interventions and support programmes/services that support return to education and/or employment for AYAs. The aim of this scoping review is to explore and chart the evidence relating to non-pharmacological interventions that support education and/or employment for AYAs. Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria will be limited to peer-reviewed and non-peer reviewed studies and programmes that focus on interventions/programmes that support education and/or employment (concept) for AYAs after a cancer diagnosis (population), across any setting (acute/primary care/workplace/school/etc.) (context) ( Table 1 ). This scoping review will consider both experimental and quasi-experimental study designs including randomised control trials, non-randomised control trials, before and after studies, and interrupted time series studies. In addition, analytical observational studies including prospective and retrospective cohort studies, case-control studies and analytical cross-sectional studies will be considered for inclusion. This review will also consider descriptive observational study designs, including case series, individual case reports, and descriptive cross-sectional studies for inclusion. Qualitative studies will also be considered that focus on qualitative data including, but not limited to, designs such as phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, qualitative description, and action research. Systematic reviews that meet the inclusion criteria will also be considered, depending on the research question. Text and opinion papers will also be considered for inclusion in this scoping review. While some study designs (e.g., cross-sectional, qualitative, etc.) do not allow assessment of intervention effectiveness over time, they may provide valuable information on the types of interventions offered to AYAs and the range of outcomes measured. Therefore, we will include these studies to capture descriptive data on interventions and outcomes. Table 1. Eligibility Criteria. Category Inclusion Criteria Population • Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15–39 years at time of cancer diagnosis • Age range selected to reflect internationally recognised definitions (e.g., Desandes & Stark, 2016 ). • Studies including AYAs during or after cancer treatment. Concept • Non-pharmacological interventions designed to support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs. • Interventions may be group-based, individual, online, vocational, psychosocial, physical, educational, or multidisciplinary. • Outcomes may include school reintegration (e.g., e.g., binary yes/no for education status, academic performance, etc.), return-to-work (e.g., binary yes/no for working status; work satisfactions etc.), or employability. Context • Any setting, including acute care, primary care, community, workplace, or school. • Studies from any geographical region. Types of Evidence Sources Peer-reviewed and non–peer-reviewed sources , including: Experimental and quasi-experimental: • Randomised controlled trials • Non-randomised controlled trials • Before-and-after studies • Interrupted time series Analytical observational: • Prospective and retrospective cohort studies • Case–control studies • Analytical cross-sectional studies Descriptive observational: • Case series • Case reports • Descriptive cross-sectional studies Qualitative research: • Phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, qualitative description, action research, etc. Other sources: • Systematic reviews (where relevant) • Text and opinion papers • Programme descriptions or evaluations Population: This scoping review will consider studies of non-pharmacological interventions and support programmes that include AYAs who were diagnosed with a cancer diagnosis (aged 15–39 years inclusive). The age range considered for AYAs can vary from country to country. For example, in the Republic of Ireland, the recognised age range for this cohort is 16–24 years ( Alken et al. , 2020 ). However, for the purpose of this review and to yield a breadth of supports, the age range of 15–39 years which is recognised internationally will be considered ( Desandes & Stark, 2016 ). Intervention eligibility will only be considered if age range falls within 15–39 years (e.g. study focusing on ages 12–24 would be excluded). Concept: The proposed scoping review is designed to explore non-pharmacological interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs. Interventions can be group-based, individual, and/or online in format, and can be vocational, psychosocial, physical, educational or multidisciplinary in nature. Pharmacological or medical interventions are excluded, as the focus of this review is on behavioural, psychosocial, vocational, educational, and rehabilitation-oriented strategies. From here on in, we will refer to these approaches simply as interventions. Context: The aim of this scoping review is to explore the breadth of current literature published on interventions that measure education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs. Therefore, studies conducted in any setting (acute/primary care/workplace/school/etc.) in any geographical location will be considered. Patient and Public Involvement: A patient and public involvement (PPI) contributor, who is also a co-author on this protocol (SB), was involved in the development of the review objectives, refinement of the research question, and identification of key concepts relevant to AYAs following a cancer diagnosis. The PPI member provided feedback on the scope of the review, the relevance of outcomes relating to education and employment, and contributed to ensuring that the planned review reflects patient priorities. No additional consultation stage is planned beyond their ongoing involvement in interpreting findings during the analysis and dissemination stages. Stage two: Identifying relevant studies The search strategy will aim to locate both published and unpublished sources. As recommended in the JBI guidelines, a three-step search strategy will be used. First, a broad search of databases (including EMBASE, Medline (OVID), and CINAHL), using keywords for cancer, education, employment, rehabilitation, adolescents and young adults will be completed. Second, words contained in the titles and abstracts of relevant manuscripts and index terms used to describe these will be used to inform a full search strategy. The medical librarian (DM) will develop a search strategy in collaboration with the lead author (NA) ( Appendix 1 ). The search strategy will be adapted for each database and information source. Databases that will be searched as part of this scoping review include EMBASE, Web of Science, Medline (OVID), CINAHL, and PsycInfo. Google Scholar will be searched for grey literature, limited to the first 100 searches (e.g., organisation and institutional reports, theses and dissertations, conference materials, programme descriptions/evaluations, etc.). Third, the reference list of all included sources of evidence will be screened for additional studies. The searches will be conducted by NA and DM. Studies published in English will be included, as the resources for translation are not available and no limitation will be set on date. In addition, the lead author will consult the research steering committee, of whom all are key AYA stakeholders, regarding their knowledge on any additional grey literature. The definitive search strategy and results will be reported in detail in the published scoping review. Stage three: Selecting studies Following the search, all identified citations will be collated and uploaded to Covidence and duplicates removed. Prior to screening, two independent reviewers will complete pilot testing of eligibility criteria. A sample of 25 titles/abstracts selected at random will be selected and screened. The team will meet to discuss any discrepancies and amend eligibility criteria as needed. Screening will commence when at least 75% agreement is achieved ( Peters et al. , 2020 ). Titles and abstracts will be screened by the first author for assessment against inclusion criteria. The full texts of selected studies will then be reviewed for inclusion by two reviewers. Where uncertainty occurs, a third reviewer will be consulted and resolved through discussion. Full text studies will be excluded if they do not meet the inclusion criteria and reasons for exclusion recorded. The search results will be reported in a PRISMA flow diagram ( Page et al. , 2021 ). Step four: Charting the data Data extraction will focus on identifying and charting data relating to interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs following a cancer diagnosis. A data charting form will be developed using Microsoft Excel. This will be developed using the JBI data extraction tool and will be guided by the Intervention Development and Replication (TIDieR) checklist ( Hoffmann et al. , 2014 ) ( Appendix 2 ), which systematically describes interventions and their characteristics to support future replication. Two reviewers will pilot the data charting form by independently extracting data from the first ten included studies. They will then meet to confirm consistency in their approach in data extraction as well as establishing suitability of the data charting form. The form may be subject to amendment as familiarity with selected studies necessitates a need for capturing further information. Where uncertainty occurs, a third reviewer will be consulted and resolved through discussion. The data extraction tool will collect the following data related to included studies/resources: 1. Author 2. Title 3. Year of publication 4. Evidence source details 5. Country of origin 6. Study/programme aims/objectives/purpose 7. Research design (if applicable) 8. Inclusion/exclusion criteria 9. Demographic details of participants included (if applicable) (e.g., cancer type, age) 10. Sample size (if applicable) 11. Intervention format (online, in-person, written) 12. Frequency of intervention delivery (once-off, six-weeks, etc.) 13. Intervention duration (e.g., one-hour/session, 30 minutes etc.) 14. Intervention content 15. Intervention facilitator(s) (if applicable) 16. Theoretical framework (if applicable) 17. Outcomes measured (if applicable) 18. Comparator (if applicable) 19. Caregiver/Partner involvement (if applicable) Data will be extracted by the lead author and verified by a second. Our objective is to map the existing literature rather than assess the methodological quality of included studies. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct a formal quality appraisal. This approach is consistent with scoping review guidance, which considers quality assessment optional. Step five: Collating, summarising, analysing and presenting the data The PRISMA-ScR checklist will be used to guide the reporting of this review ( Tricco et al ., 2018 ). Literature search findings and the study screening process will be presented in a PRISMA flow diagram. Extracted data will be charted in tabular format using the TIDieR checklist to ensure comprehensive and consistent reporting of intervention characteristics. Following data charting, findings will be synthesised using both a descriptive narrative summary and the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) ( Bradbury-Jones et al ., 2022 ). PAGER will provide a structured approach to analysing and presenting the results, enabling clearer identification of key themes, developments in the field, gaps in the evidence base, and implications for research and practice. This will ensure that the synthesis aligns with and supports the scoping review’s objectives and questions. Any deviation from the protocol will be clearly explained in the complete scoping review report. Discussion Globally the number of newly diagnosed AYA cancers is increasing and so too is the number of AYA living with and beyond cancer . Physical and psychosocial sequalae of cancer and its treatment can impact on AYAs reintegrating back to education and/or employment following cancer treatment. A gap in current research includes education and employment reintegration, where AYAs self-identified research on return to education and work as a top priority in a UK research priority-setting exercise ( Aldiss et al. , 2019 ). Therefore, the exploration of factors impacting on successful return to education and employment for AYA cancer survivors is warranted. To our knowledge, this scoping review will be the first to focus on interventions that support return to education and/or employment for AYAs following a cancer diagnosis. This protocol will include a comprehensive search of peer reviewed and grey literature and will identify, map and summarise existing literature describing supports programmes for AYAs that measure an education or employment outcome. Ethical considerations As scoping review methodology involves reviewing and collecting data from publicly accessible material, this study does not require ethical approval. Ethics and consent Ethical approval and consent were not required. Data availability Underlying data No data are associated with this article. Author’s contributions The protocol was designed by NA, DC and SB. The drafting of the manuscript was completed by NA, SB and DC. NA and DC approved the final manuscript.

Continue reading READ ALL Study Rationale and Objectives The authors clearly outline the impacts of cancer and its treatment on educational and occupational outcomes, highlighting the need to identify interventions with the potential to support AYAs in these domains. While the rationale for the larger study is clear, there is an opportunity to clarify the types of interventions being targeted in this review. Specifically, the authors use multiple terms to describe the types of interventions including “non-pharmacological,” “rehabilitation”, and “support programmes.” While the definition in the “concept” section is clear, the interchangeable use of the aforementioned terms leads to some confusion. For example, the phrase “rehabilitation interventions and support programmes” is used in the “population” section, raising a question as to whether other intervention types (e.g., psychoeducation intervention supporting return to work) will be included. In addition, the use of the term “non-pharmacological” introduces a question as to whether there are pharmacological interventions that target these outcomes and if so, why they are excluded. The authors may wish to consider whether it could be helpful to include the definition in the “concept” section earlier in the manuscript and thereafter simply refer to them as “interventions” thereafter to promote consistency. Study Design The study design and methods are appropriate to the research question and rigor is enhanced by adherence to standardized guidelines. The research questions, however, do cover a broad range of topics, and the authors may wish to consider clarifying primary (versus secondary) aims. In addition, the authors may wish to consider the following points: 1. It is somewhat unclear why cross-sectional studies could be included in this review. The authors may wish to consider if/why/how data from these studies would be appropriate for answering the stated research questions. 2. The authors may wish to consider whether it would be helpful to expand their planned data extraction to include the following elements: comparator condition, caregiver/care partner involvement (e.g., is this an AYA-focused intervention or is a caregiver also involved and if so, in what capacity), target outcome of the intervention (as studies may measure multiple outcomes in addition to the intervention target) 3. Since many studies include multiple outcomes, the authors may wish to consider a framework for identifying the “primary” outcome of each study, or the outcome which will be used as the authors “summarized the reported impact” of these interventions. Methods The methods section is generally clear. The authors may wish to consider the following points to ensure sufficient detail is provided to allow for replication: 1. While an age range of 15-39 years is stated, it is unclear if this refers to the age at diagnosis or age at enrollment in the intervention. 2. As mentioned by the authors, as there are multiple definitions of the AYA age range, the authors may wish to consider and articulate if they will include interventions that include AYAs spanning part of this age range. For example, will they only include interventions whose eligible age range falls within 15-39 years (thus excluding a study that could focus on ages 12-24) or will they include interventions in which the majority of the sample or mean age of the sample falls within 15-39 years (and thus could include the prior example)? Or will they use some other criteria? 3. As the review seems to focus on a broad range of interventions as long as they target education and/or employment outcomes, it may be helpful to include details on what measures would be considered markers of these outcomes. 4. Could the authors provide a definition of types of “grey literature” that could be included? Is the rationale for, and objectives of, the study clearly described? Partly Is the study design appropriate for the research question? Partly Are sufficient details of the methods provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Not applicable Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: AYA psycho-oncology We confirm that we have read this submission and believe that we have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however we have significant reservations, as outlined above.

Please find below our responses in how we have addressed your helpful feedback: (1) The authors clearly outline the impacts of cancer and its treatment on educational and occupational outcomes, highlighting the need to identify interventions with the potential to support AYAs in these domains. While the rationale for the larger study is clear, there is an opportunity to clarify the types of interventions being targeted in this review.

The authors may wish to consider whether it could be helpful to include the definition in the “concept” section earlier in the manuscript and thereafter simply refer to them as “interventions” thereafter to promote consistency. RESPONSE: Thank you for this comment. We acknowledge that the use of multiple terms to describe interventions may have caused confusion. To clarify, we intentionally use the term “non-pharmacological interventions” because there is existing literature, including medical and pharmacological studies (e.g., de Boer et al., 2015 Cochrane review), that examine the effects of pharmacological approaches on employment outcomes in cancer. By specifying “non-pharmacological” we clearly delineate the scope of our review to behavioural, psychosocial, vocational, educational, and rehabilitation-oriented strategies. To improve clarity and consistency, we will introduce this definition early in the manuscript and, thereafter, refer to these approaches simply as “interventions”, ensuring consistent terminology while maintaining the precision needed to define the scope of included studies. We have clarified this in the Methods section: Concept: The proposed scoping review is designed to explore non-pharmacological interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs. Interventions can be group-based, individual, and/or online in format, and can be vocational, psychosocial, physical, educational, or multidisciplinary in nature. Pharmacological or medical interventions are excluded, as the focus of this review is on behavioural, psychosocial, vocational, educational, and rehabilitation-oriented strategies. From here on in, we will refer to these approaches simply as interventions. (2) The study design and methods are appropriate to the research question and rigor is enhanced by adherence to standardized guidelines. The research questions, however, do cover a broad range of topics, and the authors may wish to consider clarifying primary (versus secondary) aims. RESPONSE: Thank you – we have made a slight amendment to clarify the primary aims and then secondary objectives: The primary aim of this scoping review is to identify and summarise the core elements (i.e., content, delivery, resources, length, and format) of non-pharmacological interventions/supports for adolescents and young adults who have had a cancer diagnosis to support return to education and/or work. Secondary objectives include:… (3) In addition, the authors may wish to consider the following points: 1. It is somewhat unclear why cross-sectional studies could be included in this review. The authors may wish to consider if/why/how data from these studies would be appropriate for answering the stated research questions. RESPONSE: Thank you for this comment. We agree that the inclusion of cross-sectional studies requires clarification. Cross-sectional studies will be included in this scoping review because they can provide valuable descriptive information on the types of interventions and outcomes being assessed, even if they do not evaluate change over time. These data will contribute to mapping the landscape of available interventions and reported outcomes, complementing longitudinal and experimental studies that assess intervention impact. We will clearly indicate study design in our data extraction and reporting to ensure transparency. We have added: While some study designs (e.g., cross-sectional, qualitative, etc.) do not allow assessment of intervention effectiveness over time, they may provide valuable information on the types of interventions offered to AYAs and the range of outcomes measured. Therefore, we will include these studies to capture descriptive data on interventions and outcomes. (4) The authors may wish to consider whether it would be helpful to expand their planned data extraction to include the following elements: comparator condition, caregiver/care partner involvement (e.g., is this an AYA-focused intervention or is a caregiver also involved and if so, in what capacity), target outcome of the intervention (as studies may measure multiple outcomes in addition to the intervention target) RESPONSE: Thank you – we have added the below to the data extraction: The data extraction tool will collect the following data related to included studies/resources: Author Title Year of publication Evidence source details Country of origin Study/programme aims/objectives/purpose Research design (if applicable) Inclusion/exclusion criteria Demographic details of participants included (if applicable) (e.g., cancer type, age) Sample size (if applicable) Intervention format (online, in-person, written) Frequency of intervention delivery (once-off, six-weeks, etc.) Intervention duration (e.g., one-hour/session, 30 minutes etc.) Intervention content Intervention facilitator(s) (if applicable) Theoretical framework (if applicable) Outcomes measured (if applicable) Comparator (if applicable) Caregiver/Partner involvement (if applicable) (5) Since many studies include multiple outcomes, the authors may wish to consider a framework for identifying the “primary” outcome of each study, or the outcome which will be used as the authors “summarized the reported impact” of these interventions. RESPONSE Thank you for this helpful suggestion. We recognize that many studies report multiple outcomes. In this scoping review, we will extract all outcomes relevant to education and/or employment and summarise the impact of interventions based on those outcomes. When multiple outcomes are reported, we will describe the range of impacts and highlight those most directly aligned with the review objectives. This approach is consistent with scoping review methodology, which focuses on mapping and describing the breadth of evidence rather than identifying a single primary outcome. We appreciate that a rewording of the objective may be useful for clarity, and have added: ‘To identify and describe the range of outcomes reported for non-pharmacological interventions and support programmes/services that support return to education and/or employment for AYAs.’ (6) The methods section is generally clear. The authors may wish to consider the following points to ensure sufficient detail is provided to allow for replication: 1. While an age range of 15-39 years is stated, it is unclear if this refers to the age at diagnosis or age at enrolment in the intervention. RESPONSE: Thank you – this has been clarified throughout the text to confirm that we are considering AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer between 15-39 years. (7) As mentioned by the authors, as there are multiple definitions of the AYA age range, the authors may wish to consider and articulate if they will include interventions that include AYAs spanning part of this age range. For example, will they only include interventions whose eligible age range falls within 15-39 years (thus excluding a study that could focus on ages 12-24) or will they include interventions in which the majority of the sample or mean age of the sample falls within 15-39 years (and thus could include the prior example)? Or will they use some other criteria? RESPONSE: Thank you – we have clarified this in the text under Stage One section: ‘Intervention eligibility will only be considered if age range falls within 15-39 years (e.g. study focusing on ages 12-24 would be excluded).’ (8) As the review seems to focus on a broad range of interventions as long as they target education and/or employment outcomes, it may be helpful to include details on what measures would be considered markers of these outcomes. RESPONSE Thank you – we have included some examples of how these outcomes could be interpreted. For example, in Table 1 we have added: ‘Outcomes may include school reintegration (e.g., e.g., binary yes/no for education status, academic performance, etc.), return-to-work (e.g., binary yes/no for working status; work satisfactions etc.), or employability.’ (9) Could the authors provide a definition of types of “grey literature” that could be included? RESPONSE Thank you – we have included examples of grey literature to be considered: ‘(e.g., organisation and institutional reports, theses and dissertations, conference materials, programme descriptions/evaluations, etc.).’.

RESPONSE: Thank you – we have made a slight amendment to clarify the primary aims and then secondary objectives: The primary aim of this scoping review is to identify and summarise the core elements (i.e., content, delivery, resources, length, and format) of non-pharmacological interventions/supports for adolescents and young adults who have had a cancer diagnosis to support return to education and/or work. Secondary objectives include:… (3) In addition, the authors may wish to consider the following points: 1. It is somewhat unclear why cross-sectional studies could be included in this review. The authors may wish to consider if/why/how data from these studies would be appropriate for answering the stated research questions. RESPONSE: Thank you for this comment. We agree that the inclusion of cross-sectional studies requires clarification. Cross-sectional studies will be included in this scoping review because they can provide valuable descriptive information on the types of interventions and outcomes being assessed, even if they do not evaluate change over time. These data will contribute to mapping the landscape of available interventions and reported outcomes, complementing longitudinal and experimental studies that assess intervention impact. We will clearly indicate study design in our data extraction and reporting to ensure transparency. We have added: While some study designs (e.g., cross-sectional, qualitative, etc.) do not allow assessment of intervention effectiveness over time, they may provide valuable information on the types of interventions offered to AYAs and the range of outcomes measured. Therefore, we will include these studies to capture descriptive data on interventions and outcomes. (4) The authors may wish to consider whether it would be helpful to expand their planned data extraction to include the following elements: comparator condition, caregiver/care partner involvement (e.g., is this an AYA-focused intervention or is a caregiver also involved and if so, in what capacity), target outcome of the intervention (as studies may measure multiple outcomes in addition to the intervention target) RESPONSE: Thank you – we have added the below to the data extraction: The data extraction tool will collect the following data related to included studies/resources: Author Title Year of publication Evidence source details Country of origin Study/programme aims/objectives/purpose Research design (if applicable) Inclusion/exclusion criteria Demographic details of participants included (if applicable) (e.g., cancer type, age) Sample size (if applicable) Intervention format (online, in-person, written) Frequency of intervention delivery (once-off, six-weeks, etc.) Intervention duration (e.g., one-hour/session, 30 minutes etc.) Intervention content Intervention facilitator(s) (if applicable) Theoretical framework (if applicable) Outcomes measured (if applicable) Comparator (if applicable) Caregiver/Partner involvement (if applicable) (5) Since many studies include multiple outcomes, the authors may wish to consider a framework for identifying the “primary” outcome of each study, or the outcome which will be used as the authors “summarized the reported impact” of these interventions. RESPONSE Thank you for this helpful suggestion. We recognize that many studies report multiple outcomes. In this scoping review, we will extract all outcomes relevant to education and/or employment and summarise the impact of interventions based on those outcomes. When multiple outcomes are reported, we will describe the range of impacts and highlight those most directly aligned with the review objectives. This approach is consistent with scoping review methodology, which focuses on mapping and describing the breadth of evidence rather than identifying a single primary outcome. We appreciate that a rewording of the objective may be useful for clarity, and have added: ‘To identify and describe the range of outcomes reported for non-pharmacological interventions and support programmes/services that support return to education and/or employment for AYAs.’ (6) The methods section is generally clear. The authors may wish to consider the following points to ensure sufficient detail is provided to allow for replication: 1. While an age range of 15-39 years is stated, it is unclear if this refers to the age at diagnosis or age at enrolment in the intervention. RESPONSE: Thank you – this has been clarified throughout the text to confirm that we are considering AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer between 15-39 years. (7) As mentioned by the authors, as there are multiple definitions of the AYA age range, the authors may wish to consider and articulate if they will include interventions that include AYAs spanning part of this age range. For example, will they only include interventions whose eligible age range falls within 15-39 years (thus excluding a study that could focus on ages 12-24) or will they include interventions in which the majority of the sample or mean age of the sample falls within 15-39 years (and thus could include the prior example)? Or will they use some other criteria? RESPONSE: Thank you – we have clarified this in the text under Stage One section: ‘Intervention eligibility will only be considered if age range falls within 15-39 years (e.g. study focusing on ages 12-24 would be excluded).’ (8) As the review seems to focus on a broad range of interventions as long as they target education and/or employment outcomes, it may be helpful to include details on what measures would be considered markers of these outcomes. RESPONSE Thank you – we have included some examples of how these outcomes could be interpreted. For example, in Table 1 we have added: ‘Outcomes may include school reintegration (e.g., e.g., binary yes/no for education status, academic performance, etc.), return-to-work (e.g., binary yes/no for working status; work satisfactions etc.), or employability.’ (9) Could the authors provide a definition of types of “grey literature” that could be included? RESPONSE Thank you – we have included examples of grey literature to be considered: ‘(e.g., organisation and institutional reports, theses and dissertations, conference materials, programme descriptions/evaluations, etc.).’.

Continue reading READ ALL Thank you for the opportunity to review this scoping review protocol. This is a strong and well-structured paper with clear relevance to the field. However, I have highlighted several areas where further clarification or refinement could strengthen the overall quality and rigour of the protocol. Addressing these points will enhance your work's transparency, methodological robustness, and impact. The listed keywords—cancer survivorship, employment, quality of life, reintegration, schooling—require revision to reflect the review's scope and content. For instance, the table of contents includes themes such as adolescents and young adults and non-pharmacological interventions, which are not currently captured in the keywords. Please consider aligning keywords with major review concepts to enhance discoverability. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria lack clarity in their current narrative form. Presenting these in a tabular format would improve transparency and make it easier for readers to understand the eligibility parameters. Search Strategy: Please provide a sample search strategy in a table format, including databases, search terms, and limits used. This is important for reproducibility and methodological rigour. Quality Appraisal: It is unclear whether a quality appraisal will be conducted as part of this scoping review. Please clarify this. If it is not planned, provide a rationale explaining why, it is in line with scoping review methodology. PPI and Knowledge User Engagement: Please specify whether the review will involve consultation or engagement with Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) representatives or other knowledge users. This is increasingly considered a valuable aspect of comprehensive and relevant reviews. Stage 5—Reporting of Data: The approach to data reporting needs greater clarity. Specifically, will the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) be used? This framework (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022) provides a systematic method for presenting scoping review findings, thereby enhancing the interpretability and utility of the results. Is the rationale for, and objectives of, the study clearly described? Yes Is the study design appropriate for the research question? Yes Are sufficient details of the methods provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Not applicable Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: Child and family health, Rare diseases, Transition, Psychosocial Research, Outcome Measures I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above.

Continue reading Dear Reviewer One, Many thanks for your manuscript feedback. Please see below for clarity in how we have addressed each point of feedback: (1) 'The listed keywords—cancer survivorship, employment, quality of life, reintegration, schooling—require revision to reflect the review's scope and content. For instance, the table of contents includes themes such as adolescents and young adults and non-pharmacological interventions, which are not currently captured in the keywords. Please consider aligning keywords with major review concepts to enhance discoverability.' RESPONSE: Thank you for this suggestion. While we recognise that key concepts appear in the title, we agree that including these terms in the keyword list will enhance discoverability and ensure that all major components of the review, particularly adolescents and young adults (AYAs), non-pharmacological interventions, and return to education and work, are clearly indexed. We have therefore updated the keyword list to better reflect the scope and content of the review, while acknowledging that there will be terms within the title that also enhance discoverability. Keywords: cancer survivorship; employment; psychosocial support; reintegration; young adult oncology; vocational rehabilitation. (2) Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria lack clarity in their current narrative form. Presenting these in a tabular format would improve transparency and make it easier for readers to understand the eligibility parameters. RESPONSE: Thank you for your comment. We have added a table to clearly label and categorise eligibility criteria that aligns with JBI scoping review standards/PCC framework. (3) Search Strategy: Please provide a sample search strategy in a table format, including databases, search terms, and limits used. This is important for reproducibility and methodological rigour. RESPONSE: Thank you. We have added a sample search strategy as an appendix. (4) Quality Appraisal: It is unclear whether a quality appraisal will be conducted as part of this scoping review. Please clarify this. If it is not planned, provide a rationale explaining why, it is in line with scoping review methodology. RESPONSE: Following established scoping review methodology (JBI), our objective is to map the existing literature rather than assess the methodological quality of included studies. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct a formal quality appraisal. This approach is consistent with scoping review guidance, which considers quality assessment optional. We have outlined this in the manuscript. ‘Our objective is to map the existing literature rather than assess the methodological quality of included studies. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct a formal quality appraisal. This approach is consistent with scoping review guidance, which considers quality assessment optional.’ (5) PPI and Knowledge User Engagement: Please specify whether the review will involve consultation or engagement with Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) representatives or other knowledge users. This is increasingly considered a valuable aspect of comprehensive and relevant reviews. RESPONSE Thank you – Yes, we are delighted that we had one PPI member of our research team who directly influenced the conception of this protocol. We have added: ‘Patient and Public Involvement: A patient and public involvement (PPI) contributor, who is also a co-author on this protocol (SB), was involved in the development of the review objectives, refinement of the research question, and identification of key concepts relevant to AYAs following a cancer diagnosis. The PPI member provided feedback on the scope of the review, the relevance of outcomes relating to education and employment, and contributed to ensuring that the planned review reflects patient priorities. No additional consultation stage is planned beyond their ongoing involvement in interpreting findings during the analysis and dissemination stages.’ (6) Stage 5—Reporting of Data: The approach to data reporting needs greater clarity. Specifically, will the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) be used? This framework (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022) provides a systematic method for presenting scoping review findings, thereby enhancing the interpretability and utility of the results. RESPONSE: Thank you for this helpful suggestion. We agree that greater clarity around our approach to reporting the data is needed. We will extract intervention-related information using the TIDieR checklist, which provides a comprehensive and structured method for capturing key characteristics and components of the interventions included in the review. To support transparent and meaningful synthesis at Stage 5, we will also use the PAGER framework as outlined by Bradbury-Jones et al. (2022). Together, TIDieR and PAGER will provide both the structured extraction of intervention details and a coherent approach to synthesising and reporting the review results. We have amended as follows: Step Five: Collating, summarising, analysing and presenting the data The PRISMA-ScR checklist will be used to guide the reporting of this review (Tricco et al., 2018). Literature search findings and the study screening process will be presented in a PRISMA flow diagram. Extracted data will be charted in tabular format using the TIDieR checklist to ensure comprehensive and consistent reporting of intervention characteristics. Following data charting, findings will be synthesised using both a descriptive narrative summary and the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022). PAGER will provide a structured approach to analysing and presenting the results, enabling clearer identification of key themes, developments in the field, gaps in the evidence base, and implications for research and practice. This will ensure that the synthesis aligns with and supports the scoping review’s objectives and questions. Any deviation from the protocol will be clearly explained in the complete scoping review report. Dear Reviewer One, Many thanks for your manuscript feedback.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Study Rationale and Objectives The authors clearly outline the impacts of cancer and its treatment on educational and occupational outcomes, highlighting the need to identify interventions with the potential to support AYAs in these domains. While the rationale for the larger study is clear, there is an opportunity to clarify the types of interventions being targeted in this review. Specifically, the authors use multiple terms to describe the types of interventions including “non-pharmacological,” “rehabilitation”, and “support programmes.” While the definition in the “concept” section is clear, the interchangeable use of the aforementioned terms leads to some confusion. For example, the phrase “rehabilitation interventions and support programmes” is used in the “population” section, raising a question as to whether other intervention types (e.g., psychoeducation intervention supporting return to work) will be included. In addition, the use of the term “non-pharmacological” introduces a question as to whether there are pharmacological interventions that target these outcomes and if so, why they are excluded. The authors may wish to consider whether it could be helpful to include the definition in the “concept” section earlier in the manuscript and thereafter simply refer to them as “interventions” thereafter to promote consistency. Study Design The study design and methods are appropriate to the research question and rigor is enhanced by adherence to standardized guidelines. The research questions, however, do cover a broad range of topics, and the authors may wish to consider clarifying primary (versus secondary) aims. In addition, the authors may wish to consider the following points: 1. It is somewhat unclear why cross-sectional studies could be included in this review. The authors may wish to consider if/why/how data from these studies would be appropriate for answering the stated research questions. 2. The authors may wish to consider whether it would be helpful to expand their planned data extraction to include the following elements: comparator condition, caregiver/care partner involvement (e.g., is this an AYA-focused intervention or is a caregiver also involved and if so, in what capacity), target outcome of the intervention (as studies may measure multiple outcomes in addition to the intervention target) 3. Since many studies include multiple outcomes, the authors may wish to consider a framework for identifying the “primary” outcome of each study, or the outcome which will be used as the authors “summarized the reported impact” of these interventions. Methods The methods section is generally clear. The authors may wish to consider the following points to ensure sufficient detail is provided to allow for replication: 1. While an age range of 15-39 years is stated, it is unclear if this refers to the age at diagnosis or age at enrollment in the intervention. 2. As mentioned by the authors, as there are multiple definitions of the AYA age range, the authors may wish to consider and articulate if they will include interventions that include AYAs spanning part of this age range. For example, will they only include interventions whose eligible age range falls within 15-39 years (thus excluding a study that could focus on ages 12-24) or will they include interventions in which the majority of the sample or mean age of the sample falls within 15-39 years (and thus could include the prior example)? Or will they use some other criteria? 3. As the review seems to focus on a broad range of interventions as long as they target education and/or employment outcomes, it may be helpful to include details on what measures would be considered markers of these outcomes. 4. Could the authors provide a definition of types of “grey literature” that could be included? Is the rationale for, and objectives of, the study clearly described? Partly Is the study design appropriate for the research question? Partly Are sufficient details of the methods provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Not applicable Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed.

Please find below our responses in how we have addressed your helpful feedback: (1) The authors clearly outline the impacts of cancer and its treatment on educational and occupational outcomes, highlighting the need to identify interventions with the potential to support AYAs in these domains. While the rationale for the larger study is clear, there is an opportunity to clarify the types of interventions being targeted in this review. Specifically, the authors use multiple terms to describe the types of interventions including “non-pharmacological,” “rehabilitation”, and “support programmes.” While the definition in the “concept” section is clear, the interchangeable use of the aforementioned terms leads to some confusion. For example, the phrase “rehabilitation interventions and support programmes” is used in the “population” section, raising a question as to whether other intervention types (e.g., psychoeducation intervention supporting return to work) will be included. In addition, the use of the term “non-pharmacological” introduces a question as to whether there are pharmacological interventions that target these outcomes and if so, why they are excluded. The authors may wish to consider whether it could be helpful to include the definition in the “concept” section earlier in the manuscript and thereafter simply refer to them as “interventions” thereafter to promote consistency. RESPONSE: Thank you for this comment. We acknowledge that the use of multiple terms to describe interventions may have caused confusion. To clarify, we intentionally use the term “non-pharmacological interventions” because there is existing literature, including medical and pharmacological studies (e.g., de Boer et al., 2015 Cochrane review), that examine the effects of pharmacological approaches on employment outcomes in cancer. By specifying “non-pharmacological” we clearly delineate the scope of our review to behavioural, psychosocial, vocational, educational, and rehabilitation-oriented strategies. To improve clarity and consistency, we will introduce this definition early in the manuscript and, thereafter, refer to these approaches simply as “interventions”, ensuring consistent terminology while maintaining the precision needed to define the scope of included studies. We have clarified this in the Methods section: Concept: The proposed scoping review is designed to explore non-pharmacological interventions that support education and/or employment outcomes for AYAs. Interventions can be group-based, individual, and/or online in format, and can be vocational, psychosocial, physical, educational, or multidisciplinary in nature. Pharmacological or medical interventions are excluded, as the focus of this review is on behavioural, psychosocial, vocational, educational, and rehabilitation-oriented strategies. From here on in, we will refer to these approaches simply as interventions. (2) The study design and methods are appropriate to the research question and rigor is enhanced by adherence to standardized guidelines. The research questions, however, do cover a broad range of topics, and the authors may wish to consider clarifying primary (versus secondary) aims. RESPONSE: Thank you – we have made a slight amendment to clarify the primary aims and then secondary objectives: The primary aim of this scoping review is to identify and summarise the core elements (i.e., content, delivery, resources, length, and format) of non-pharmacological interventions/supports for adolescents and young adults who have had a cancer diagnosis to support return to education and/or work. Secondary objectives include:… (3) In addition, the authors may wish to consider the following points: 1. It is somewhat unclear why cross-sectional studies could be included in this review. The authors may wish to consider if/why/how data from these studies would be appropriate for answering the stated research questions. RESPONSE: Thank you for this comment. We agree that the inclusion of cross-sectional studies requires clarification. Cross-sectional studies will be included in this scoping review because they can provide valuable descriptive information on the types of interventions and outcomes being assessed, even if they do not evaluate change over time. These data will contribute to mapping the landscape of available interventions and reported outcomes, complementing longitudinal and experimental studies that assess intervention impact. We will clearly indicate study design in our data extraction and reporting to ensure transparency. We have added: While some study designs (e.g., cross-sectional, qualitative, etc.) do not allow assessment of intervention effectiveness over time, they may provide valuable information on the types of interventions offered to AYAs and the range of outcomes measured. Therefore, we will include these studies to capture descriptive data on interventions and outcomes. (4) The authors may wish to consider whether it would be helpful to expand their planned data extraction to include the following elements: comparator condition, caregiver/care partner involvement (e.g., is this an AYA-focused intervention or is a caregiver also involved and if so, in what capacity), target outcome of the intervention (as studies may measure multiple outcomes in addition to the intervention target) RESPONSE: Thank you – we have added the below to the data extraction: The data extraction tool will collect the following data related to included studies/resources: Author Title Year of publication Evidence source details Country of origin Study/programme aims/objectives/purpose Research design (if applicable) Inclusion/exclusion criteria Demographic details of participants included (if applicable) (e.g., cancer type, age) Sample size (if applicable) Intervention format (online, in-person, written) Frequency of intervention delivery (once-off, six-weeks, etc.) Intervention duration (e.g., one-hour/session, 30 minutes etc.) Intervention content Intervention facilitator(s) (if applicable) Theoretical framework (if applicable) Outcomes measured (if applicable) Comparator (if applicable) Caregiver/Partner involvement (if applicable) (5) Since many studies include multiple outcomes, the authors may wish to consider a framework for identifying the “primary” outcome of each study, or the outcome which will be used as the authors “summarized the reported impact” of these interventions. RESPONSE Thank you for this helpful suggestion. We recognize that many studies report multiple outcomes. In this scoping review, we will extract all outcomes relevant to education and/or employment and summarise the impact of interventions based on those outcomes. When multiple outcomes are reported, we will describe the range of impacts and highlight those most directly aligned with the review objectives. This approach is consistent with scoping review methodology, which focuses on mapping and describing the breadth of evidence rather than identifying a single primary outcome. We appreciate that a rewording of the objective may be useful for clarity, and have added: ‘To identify and describe the range of outcomes reported for non-pharmacological interventions and support programmes/services that support return to education and/or employment for AYAs.’ (6) The methods section is generally clear. The authors may wish to consider the following points to ensure sufficient detail is provided to allow for replication: 1. While an age range of 15-39 years is stated, it is unclear if this refers to the age at diagnosis or age at enrolment in the intervention. RESPONSE: Thank you – this has been clarified throughout the text to confirm that we are considering AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer between 15-39 years. (7) As mentioned by the authors, as there are multiple definitions of the AYA age range, the authors may wish to consider and articulate if they will include interventions that include AYAs spanning part of this age range. For example, will they only include interventions whose eligible age range falls within 15-39 years (thus excluding a study that could focus on ages 12-24) or will they include interventions in which the majority of the sample or mean age of the sample falls within 15-39 years (and thus could include the prior example)? Or will they use some other criteria? RESPONSE: Thank you – we have clarified this in the text under Stage One section: ‘Intervention eligibility will only be considered if age range falls within 15-39 years (e.g. study focusing on ages 12-24 would be excluded).’ (8) As the review seems to focus on a broad range of interventions as long as they target education and/or employment outcomes, it may be helpful to include details on what measures would be considered markers of these outcomes. RESPONSE Thank you – we have included some examples of how these outcomes could be interpreted. For example, in Table 1 we have added: ‘Outcomes may include school reintegration (e.g., e.g., binary yes/no for education status, academic performance, etc.), return-to-work (e.g., binary yes/no for working status; work satisfactions etc.), or employability.’ (9) Could the authors provide a definition of types of “grey literature” that could be included? RESPONSE Thank you – we have included examples of grey literature to be considered: ‘(e.g., organisation and institutional reports, theses and dissertations, conference materials, programme descriptions/evaluations, etc.).’.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Thank you for the opportunity to review this scoping review protocol. This is a strong and well-structured paper with clear relevance to the field. However, I have highlighted several areas where further clarification or refinement could strengthen the overall quality and rigour of the protocol. Addressing these points will enhance your work's transparency, methodological robustness, and impact. The listed keywords—cancer survivorship, employment, quality of life, reintegration, schooling—require revision to reflect the review's scope and content. For instance, the table of contents includes themes such as adolescents and young adults and non-pharmacological interventions, which are not currently captured in the keywords. Please consider aligning keywords with major review concepts to enhance discoverability. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria lack clarity in their current narrative form. Presenting these in a tabular format would improve transparency and make it easier for readers to understand the eligibility parameters. Search Strategy: Please provide a sample search strategy in a table format, including databases, search terms, and limits used. This is important for reproducibility and methodological rigour. Quality Appraisal: It is unclear whether a quality appraisal will be conducted as part of this scoping review. Please clarify this. If it is not planned, provide a rationale explaining why, it is in line with scoping review methodology. PPI and Knowledge User Engagement: Please specify whether the review will involve consultation or engagement with Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) representatives or other knowledge users. This is increasingly considered a valuable aspect of comprehensive and relevant reviews. Stage 5—Reporting of Data: The approach to data reporting needs greater clarity. Specifically, will the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) be used? This framework (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022) provides a systematic method for presenting scoping review findings, thereby enhancing the interpretability and utility of the results. Is the rationale for, and objectives of, the study clearly described? Yes Is the study design appropriate for the research question?

Not applicable Competing Interests No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise Child and family health, Rare diseases, Transition, Psychosocial Research, Outcome Measures I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard, however I have significant reservations, as outlined above. reply Respond to this report Responses (1) Author Response 16 Jan 2026 Naomi Algeo, Discipline of Occupational Therapy, Trinity College Dublin School of Medicine, Trinity Centre for Health Sciences, Ireland Dear Reviewer One, Many thanks for your manuscript feedback. Please see below for clarity in how we have addressed each point of feedback: (1) 'The listed keywords—cancer survivorship, employment, quality of life, reintegration, schooling—require revision to reflect the review's scope and content. For instance, the table of contents includes themes such as adolescents and young adults and non-pharmacological interventions, which are not currently captured in the keywords. Please consider aligning keywords with major review concepts to enhance discoverability.' RESPONSE: Thank you for this suggestion. While we recognise that key concepts appear in the title, we agree that including these terms in the keyword list will enhance discoverability and ensure that all major components of the review, particularly adolescents and young adults (AYAs), non-pharmacological interventions, and return to education and work, are clearly indexed. We have therefore updated the keyword list to better reflect the scope and content of the review, while acknowledging that there will be terms within the title that also enhance discoverability. Keywords: cancer survivorship; employment; psychosocial support; reintegration; young adult oncology; vocational rehabilitation. (2) Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria lack clarity in their current narrative form. Presenting these in a tabular format would improve transparency and make it easier for readers to understand the eligibility parameters. RESPONSE: Thank you for your comment. We have added a table to clearly label and categorise eligibility criteria that aligns with JBI scoping review standards/PCC framework. (3) Search Strategy: Please provide a sample search strategy in a table format, including databases, search terms, and limits used. This is important for reproducibility and methodological rigour. RESPONSE: Thank you. We have added a sample search strategy as an appendix. (4) Quality Appraisal: It is unclear whether a quality appraisal will be conducted as part of this scoping review. Please clarify this. If it is not planned, provide a rationale explaining why, it is in line with scoping review methodology. RESPONSE: Following established scoping review methodology (JBI), our objective is to map the existing literature rather than assess the methodological quality of included studies. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct a formal quality appraisal. This approach is consistent with scoping review guidance, which considers quality assessment optional. We have outlined this in the manuscript. ‘Our objective is to map the existing literature rather than assess the methodological quality of included studies. Therefore, we do not plan to conduct a formal quality appraisal. This approach is consistent with scoping review guidance, which considers quality assessment optional.’ (5) PPI and Knowledge User Engagement: Please specify whether the review will involve consultation or engagement with Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) representatives or other knowledge users. This is increasingly considered a valuable aspect of comprehensive and relevant reviews. RESPONSE Thank you – Yes, we are delighted that we had one PPI member of our research team who directly influenced the conception of this protocol. We have added: ‘Patient and Public Involvement: A patient and public involvement (PPI) contributor, who is also a co-author on this protocol (SB), was involved in the development of the review objectives, refinement of the research question, and identification of key concepts relevant to AYAs following a cancer diagnosis. The PPI member provided feedback on the scope of the review, the relevance of outcomes relating to education and employment, and contributed to ensuring that the planned review reflects patient priorities. No additional consultation stage is planned beyond their ongoing involvement in interpreting findings during the analysis and dissemination stages.’ (6) Stage 5—Reporting of Data: The approach to data reporting needs greater clarity. Specifically, will the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) be used? This framework (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022) provides a systematic method for presenting scoping review findings, thereby enhancing the interpretability and utility of the results. RESPONSE: Thank you for this helpful suggestion. We agree that greater clarity around our approach to reporting the data is needed. We will extract intervention-related information using the TIDieR checklist, which provides a comprehensive and structured method for capturing key characteristics and components of the interventions included in the review. To support transparent and meaningful synthesis at Stage 5, we will also use the PAGER framework as outlined by Bradbury-Jones et al. (2022). Together, TIDieR and PAGER will provide both the structured extraction of intervention details and a coherent approach to synthesising and reporting the review results. We have amended as follows: Step Five: Collating, summarising, analysing and presenting the data The PRISMA-ScR checklist will be used to guide the reporting of this review (Tricco et al., 2018). Literature search findings and the study screening process will be presented in a PRISMA flow diagram. Extracted data will be charted in tabular format using the TIDieR checklist to ensure comprehensive and consistent reporting of intervention characteristics. Following data charting, findings will be synthesised using both a descriptive narrative summary and the PAGER framework (Patterns, Advances, Gaps, Evidence for practice, and Research recommendations) (Bradbury-Jones et al., 2022). PAGER will provide a structured approach to analysing and presenting the results, enabling clearer identification of key themes, developments in the field, gaps in the evidence base, and implications for research and practice. This will ensure that the synthesis aligns with and supports the scoping review’s objectives and questions. Any deviation from the protocol will be clearly explained in the complete scoping review report.
