Piloting Y-AMBIENT: A Quality of Life Intervention for Young African American Breast Cancer Survivors

The purpose of this two-arm pilot RCT is to evaluate processes and preliminary outcomes of a targeted QOL intervention vs. an attention control among young AA survivors post-treatment for early (I-II) \& late (III) stage breast cancer.

Primary Objectives I. Evaluate feasibility and acceptability of Y-AMBIENT and an attention control among young African American breast cancer survivors. II. Explore the degree to which the Y-AMBIENT vs. attention control affects preliminary health-related outcomes among young African American (AA) survivors. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I (Y-AMBIENT): Patients receive three themed education sessions over 1 hour each, written materials, and videos at month 1. Patients also participate in 3, 20 minutes telephone reinforcement calls to discuss how they are doing and discuss any concerns that they are still managing at months 2, 3, and 4. ARM II (ATTENTION CONTROL): Patients receive three themed education sessions over 1 hour each, written materials, and videos at month 1. Patients also participate in 3, 20 minutes telephone reinforcement calls to discuss how they are doing and discuss any concerns that they are still managing at months 2, 3, and 4. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 1 month.
