Within a population-wide symptom assessment program, while AYA living in rural and remote areas had high rates of screening, than those in low-income urban areas were substantially less likely to be screened. Though patients with hematologic cancers suffer from particularly high symptom burdens, they were also less likely to be screened. Interventions targeting AYA are required to increase uptake.
