About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring female breast cancer, bilateral breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, breast cancer diagnosis, BRCA 1, BRCA 2, psychoeducational intervention (PEI), genetic counseling, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), cancer education materials

Arm 2

Arm 3

Arm Type

No Intervention

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Intervention Development

Intervention Pilot - Intervention Group

Intervention Pilot - Control Group

Arm Description

Psychoeducational Intervention (PEI) development. PEIs include printed and DVD materials, and represent a commonly used and effective approach to implement theoretically based individual-level interventions. These materials serve as important sources of information for the general public, cancer patients, and survivors from a variety of backgrounds, including populations with limited health literacy. An interview and feedback collection process will take place to provide data to improve current PEI materials.

The intervention group will receive the PEI materials: video and booklet. Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare response with the control group.

The control group will receive a patient factsheet about Genetic Counseling (GC). Self-reported feedback will be collected and reviewed to compare response with the intervention group.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Part 1: Rate of Initial Survey Responses
Intervention Development: Rate of feedback of draft materials required to complete a formative evaluation.
Part 2: Rate of Participation
Participation in the Psychoeducational Intervention (PEI) group compared to the Factsheet group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rate of Impact
Self-Reported Feedback Scoring Method: Frequencies and descriptives will be calculated for response options. Positive feedback rate of Psychoeducational Intervention (PEI) group compared to the Factsheet group.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate the effectiveness of new educational materials (informational booklet & DVD) that promote participation in genetic counseling among breast cancer survivors. There are two phases to this study: Part 1 - reviewing the newly developed educational materials, and Part 2 - evaluating the effectiveness of the newly developed educational materials
Detailed Description
Part 1: Intervention Development Aim 1: Develop a psychoeducational intervention (PEI) for high-risk breast cancer survivors about genetic counseling (GC) and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Part 2: Intervention Pilot Aim 2: Assess the feasibility and acceptability of a PEI from the perspective of the BC patients and health care professionals. Exploratory Aim 3: Estimate the preliminary efficacy of the PEI compared to standard clinical care. We hypothesize that women in the intervention group will have higher uptake of GC, greater increases in knowledge, and more perceived benefits related to GC compared to the control group.
