What is Involved?

Description

There are three phases to this study. Different participants will be recruited for each different phase of the study. If you choose to take part in this study, you will participate in whichever phase is enrolling at the time you choose to join. Phase 1: If you participate in this phase, you will complete a one-on-one interview with a study team member to learn more about the impact and challenges of managing premature or early menopause after cancer. You will also review our proposed program and share your feedback and opinions. Phase 2: If you participate in this phase, you will enroll in the program, which has been refined from the feedback given in Phase 1. The program's visits will take place on Zoom with the study therapist over the course of about 10 weeks. You will fill out surveys before and after going through the program. We will also ask you to do an exit interview with a study team member to share feedback about the program and your experience after it is over. Phase 3: If you participate in this phase, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to either go through the study program or get the standardized health education on life after cancer treatment. We will also ask you to do an exit interview with a study team member to share feedback about the program or the health education you received and your experience after it is over.
