Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are English-speaking Black women aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed stage 0–III breast cancer, no metastatic disease, and within four years of diagnosis.

Probably not a fit

Women with metastatic (stage IV) disease or those unable to attend sessions in Houston or communicate in English are unlikely to receive benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies

The Black Breast Cancer Survivor's Intervention (BBCSI) is a community-based, peer-led curriculum designed to support Black women after non-metastatic breast cancer. The study will develop a prototype BBCSI course, train master trainers and community interventionists, and enroll eligible participants to take the program. Outcomes include participant satisfaction and preliminary effects on quality of life, along with measures of fidelity, feasibility, acceptability, and barriers or facilitators to delivery. The trial activities are based at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve overall quality of life, coping, and social support for Black breast cancer survivors.

How similar studies have gone: Peer-led survivorship programs have shown promise for improving quality of life in breast cancer survivors, but culturally tailored interventions specifically for Black survivors are relatively novel and less extensively studied.
