A Quality of Life Intervention (Y-AMBIENT) for Young African American Survivors after Treatment for Stage I-III Breast Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This clinical trials evaluates the effect of Y-AMBIENT on quality of life in young African American (AA) survivors after treatment for stage I-III breast cancer. Young AA women have a higher incidence of breast cancer and may be at a higher risk of cancer recurrence and treatment-related late effects. Many young AA women report a poorer physical and overall quality of life throughout survivorship. Y-AMBIENT, a telephone-based intervention, includes targeted education sessions, written materials and videos to reinforce the educational content and follow-up telephone calls. Participating in Y-AMBIENT may improve the quality of life in young AA survivors after treatment for stage I-III breast cancer.
