About this study

In plain language

This study looks at ways to help Latinas get breast cancer care, including those with cancer risk in their personal or family history and challenges in daily life. People in the first part of the study have three private, 30-minute phone sessions with the study team, one each week for three weeks.

The investigator and study staff will identify, recruit and randomize Latina participants with elevated genetic and Social Determinants of Heath (SDH) risks. Within 1 week of enrollment, all Latina Aim 1 participants in both study arms will engage in three 30-minute, individual, phone-based sessions with the study team across 3 consecutive weeks

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
