Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of pediatric cancer and their caregivers frequently do not meet national guidelines for physical activity (PA), nutrition, or sleep. Respondents from N = 73 AYA-aged (mean [M] = 19.0 years, range = 11–30 years) survivor families completed a survey on cancer-related barriers to health behaviors. Almost all respondents (68/73, 93.2%) endorsed ≥1 cancer-specific barrier(s) to current health behaviors (median = 5, standard deviation = 3.42, range = 0–16) in their family. Cancer-related barriers to PA, nutrition, and sleep were positively correlated (PA-nutrition: r = 0.39, p = 0.001; PA-sleep: r = 0.41, p < 0.001; nutrition-sleep: r = 0.52, p < 0.001). Wellness interventions are needed to address the unique needs of AYA-aged survivors and support multiple health behaviors simultaneously.
