Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief, nurse-led intervention to support breast cancer survivors who have delayed initiation of hormonal therapy or who have concerns about starting hormonal therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a single-arm pilot trial to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a patient-centered, evidence-based, culturally competent, nurse-led intervention to encourage breast cancer survivors who have not begun taking adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) to initiate the medication.

The research study procedures include:

* screening for eligibility
* two individual study intervention sessions
* study assessment follow-up questionnaires

This research study involves two individual sessions with a nurse practitioner which will take place via videoconferencing sessions either in-person or via telephone. Participants will also complete three brief questionnaire packets over the 12-week course of the study.

It is expected that up to 35 people will take part in this research study. The investigators plan to enrich the study sample for patients of a racial and/or ethnic minority in order to ensure the generalizability of the study findings.
