About this study

In plain language

This study tests ways to help people return to work, social activities, exercise, and daily tasks after treatment for early-stage breast cancer. Participants will try one of 8 combinations of support that may include choosing priorities, education, and help with setting goals, solving problems, and making plans.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the best way to promote participation in vocational, social, physical, and instrumental activities of daily living in people who have completed treatment for early stage breast cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: Which of the intervention components, alone or in combination, most effectively promote participation in vocational, social, physical, and instrumental activities of daily living? Participants will be asked to try one of 8 combination of three intervention components that have been shown to promote activity participation: (1) priority elicitation, (2) education, and (3) guided application involving goal setting, problem-solving and action planning.

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