Summary

This study tests whether peer navigators—trained breast cancer survivors—can help African-American women recently finished with breast cancer treatment better understand and stick to their follow-up care plans. About 145 women will either receive standard educational materials or also get one-on-one peer sessions. The goal is to see if this support improves quality of life and follow-up exam completion.

Active substance
peer navigation education
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that peer support helps African-American breast cancer survivors better follow their follow-up care plans and feel more prepared.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with 145 participants, so results may not apply to all survivors. It tests education and support, not a medical treatment, so it won't directly cure or control the disease.
