Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18 or older with stage I–III breast cancer who are English- or Spanish-speaking and receiving treatment at participating Colorado centers.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants who do not engage with the video series or whose sexual health needs are not impacted by the intervention may see no personal benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study enrolls about 200 English- or Spanish-speaking women with stage I–III breast cancer who are starting treatment. Participants are randomized to receive access to an online sexual health video series or standard care, with surveys at baseline and every two months for six months to measure self-efficacy in patient–provider communication and perceived barriers to discussing sexual health. Electronic health record reviews will track the use of sexual health-related services, and a subset will participate in qualitative interviews to understand sexual health experiences and the videos’ perceived impact. The study aims to see if the videos improve communication confidence and service utilization during treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved communication with their care team and greater use of sexual-health resources.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work suggests patient-facing educational resources can improve communication and service use in some cancer populations, but this specific video series in breast cancer is being tested.
