Overview
Approximately 200 English- or Spanish-speaking women newly diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer will be randomized to either receive access to an online sexual health video series or receive usual care. Participants will complete surveys at baseline and every two months for six months, measuring self-efficacy in patient-provider communication and perceived barriers to discussing sexual health. Electronic health record review will assess utilization of sexual-health-related medical and supportive services. A subset of participants will participate in qualitative interviews to explore their sexual health experiences during treatment and, for those receiving the intervention, the perceived impact of the videos.
