Virtual Support Platform (HERCaRE Application) for the Improvement of Survivorship Among Black Breast Cancer Survivors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Carcinoma

In brief

This clinical trial studies how well a virtual support platform, the Health Equity Resources for Breast Cancer Responsive Education (HERCaRE) application (app), works in improving survivorship among Black survivors of breast cancer. The HERCaRE platform is a mobile-friendly app that includes culturally tailored educational materials, interactive content, and health equity resources to help patients better understand and manage survivorship after breast cancer treatment. This trial may help improve how digital health interventions can enhance survivorship support and access to resources.
