Young, Empowered & Strong (YES): The Young Women's Breast Cancer Study 2- Focus on Intervention Pilot

This research study is piloting a new internet-based research tool (YES portal). The main purpose of this pilot study is to test the web-based interface.

This study is being done to pilot a web-based research intervention tool. The investigators hope that by piloting it with the participants they can improve the tool and the other processes. The main purpose of this pilot study is to test the web-based interface, the participant's engagement with the platform, and the recruitment procedures. This initial pilot study will inform the design of a larger study intended to monitor common symptoms and behavior, and to provide supportive care information and research opportunities in an iterative manner for young women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer using the YES portal, built for smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Participants will track their symptoms with weekly and monthly standard surveys to monitor for symptoms. The YES portal is designed to collect and assess participants' toxicities and symptoms, as well as informational needs in between visits with their clinician

To measure the number of times participants engage with the portal using log in data collected from back-end of portal.

To summarize the number of hours/minutes the participant spent using portal through data collected from back-end of portal.

To summarize the number of hours/minutes the survey takes to complete through data collected from back-end of portal.

To measure the number of times participants download the resource sources provided through data collected from back-end of portal.

Investigator developed questions will be used to assess the utility of the portal including the perceived usefulness of portal in addressing symptoms and needs and ease of use.

Investigator developed questions asking participants for feedback pertaining to ways to improve the portal and processes.
