Arms

  • Experimental: Sisters Informing Sisters Sessions
    The intervention is peer-based and in concert with our theoretical model, builds upon positive role-modeling of the survivor coach to the patient, addresses behavioral expectations/capacities, and uses Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques. The intervention includes a culturally relevant coach's manual and a patient workbook that will be used to facilitate the coaching sessions.
  • No Intervention: Enhanced Usual Care
    Women in the EUC arm will receive usual care that includes standardized information in the public domain (NCI treatment information booklet). This booklet was chosen to provide women with national-level recommendations regarding treatment recommendations.
