What this trial studies

This study aims to empower Latina women at elevated genetic and social risk for breast cancer by providing them with personalized education and support.

The sessions will include testimonials and action plans to address disparities in breast cancer care uptake. Participants will also receive multimedia materials to reinforce the information shared during the sessions.
