Intervening on Women's Health for Rural Young Breast Cancer Survivors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-component intervention to improve young breast cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care, concurrently with observing and gathering information on how the intervention is implemented. The investigators hypothesize that implementation of the intervention will result in increased young breast cancer survivors' engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care.

Experimental: Multi-component oncofertility care intervention After the intervention implementation, all breast cancer patients presenting to oncology clinical visits that meet eligibility criteria will receive the multi-component oncofertility care intervention. |
Behavioral: Multi-component oncofertility care intervention
The intervention includes:
Young breast cancer patients presenting to oncology visits will complete a clinic-based oncofertility needs screen with a member of the clinical team. This needs screen assesses i) desire to have a child in the future, ii) need for contraception, and iii) sexual health/menopause symptoms.
A women's health survivorship care plan (SCP) in Spanish and English encompasses content on screening and management strategies for a) fertility concerns/pregnancy health; b) contraception; c) hot flashes and d) sexual health.
Oncofertility navigation consists of one telehealth or in-person session with a social worker to: i) assess the patient's oncofertility needs, ii) review the women's health SCP, iii) provide support with the goal of engaging in oncofertility care.
Oncofertility consultation as indicated via telehealth or in person will occur between the patient and reproductive specialist. Each consultation is estimated to be 1 hour.
|
No Intervention: Usual Care Prior to the intervention implementation, all breast cancer patients presenting to oncology clinical visits that meet eligibility criteria will receive usual care. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Medical record review of engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care [12 weeks after oncology visit]
Study staff will be trained to abstract the primary outcome of engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care from the patient's medical records using standardized case report forms. Engagement in goal-concordant oncofertility care will be assigned to young breast cancer survivors who undergo: 1) oncofertility needs screen, complete a navigation session, receive the women's health survivorship care plan (SCP), and thereafter have no oncofertility needs; OR 2) oncofertility needs screen, complete a navigation session, receive the SCP, have an oncofertility need, undergo telehealth oncofertility consultation, and thereafter have no oncofertility services needs; OR 3) oncofertility needs screen, complete a navigation session, receive the SCP, have an oncofertility need, undergo telehealth oncofertility consultation, have an oncofertility services need, and thereafter uptake appropriate services.
