The 5A’s: A Practical Guide to Sexual Health Conversations

A ready-to-use 10-slide teaching deck introducing the 5A’s communication model: Ask, Assess, Advise, agree on an Action Plan, and Arrange Follow-Up. Adapted for cancer care, the framework helps clinicians normalize sexual health discussions, identify concerns efficiently, agree realistic goals with patients and partners, and provide a clear plan for support and follow-up.
