Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluates the use of supportive care in patients with advanced breast cancer to better understand what has helped them, what has been hard, and what kind of help they still need.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Assess acceptability of current LWABC model. II. Conduct a comprehensive review of participants' medical history, treatment records, and demographic data. III. Explore differences in survivorship care engagement across four distinct cohorts. OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants complete a survey and a semi-structured interview on study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability of current LWABC (Living Well with Advanced Breast Cancer) model | Up to study completion, up to 1 day | Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Survey items will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables. |
| Participant medical history, treatment records, and demographic data | Up to study completion, up to 1 day | Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Survey items including demographic information and disease characteristics will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables. |
| Differences in survivorship care engagement across four distinct cohorts | Up to study completion, up to 1 day | Will utilize a thematic inductive analysis approach to compare and contrast themes across cohorts. Themes will be compared across each cohort to identify survivorship care needs that will be translated into intervention components for the ABC survivorship program. Survey items will be summarized by cohort. Means, standard deviations, medians and ranges will be calculated for continuous variables and frequency, percents and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for categorical variables. |
