Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings for Black American Women Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an approach to promote well-being in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings online intervention improve depressive symptoms in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings intervention improve fatigue in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings intervention improve well-being in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? Researchers will compare the Awakenings online intervention to a comparison condition, to see if women in the Awakenings group improve on depressive symptoms, fatigue, and well-being more than women in the comparison group. Women in the comparison condition will receive materials by mail to use on their own. Participants will: * be randomized (selected by chance) to take part in four Project SOAR Gatherings, which are small group, 90-minute to two-hour online discussions with other Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer and are designed to promote well-being OR to a comparison group. Rev. Dr.(Hon) Tammie Denyse, a 20-year breast cancer survivor and patient advocate, will lead the Gatherings, along with other experts. * devote about eight hours for women in the Project SOAR Gatherings discussions and two hours for women in the comparison group. * complete online questionnaires at the beginning of the study and one month and three months later. * receive a box of resources (e.g., book, cup, blanket, journal) designed to promote well-being.
