Lead
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Participants will participate in a peer ambassador program where a patient ambassador (mentor) will be paired with a mentee. The patient ambassador will be a patient with history of gynecologic cancer who has experience with clinical trials and can serve as an ambassador to facilitate discussions regarding education and awareness of clinical trials. This discussion will potentially assist mentees to make informed decisions about their engagement in discussing clinical trials, looking for clinical trials, and desire and acceptance of clinical trials. This will also allow ambassadors to gain information about perceived barriers regarding clinical trials. The investigators seek to identify patient ambassadors, who will be trained to lead 1:1 discussion with patient mentees. Each ambassador will be paired with up to 5 mentees. Each ambassador-mentee pairing will have 1-2 encounters (meetings) over the course of 12 months. The total number of encounters and the total number of ambassador-mentee dyads created, will be logged. Enrollment and study visits will occur over a 12 month period. Each mentor will be in the study approximately one year, and each mentee will be in the study approximately 2 months.
