Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this prospective 1:1 randomized controlled trial is to evaluate if an online patient navigation program, designed to identify targeted supportive care needs and to facilitate referrals and web-based interventions to address these needs, can increase patients' access to supportive care services, compared to traditional in-person patient navigation providing referrals to in-person supportive care services. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does online patient navigation increase access to supportive care services among patients with breast cancer? * Which are the barriers that hinder patients' access to the supportive care services they require? * What is patients' level of satisfaction with online patient navigation? Participants will: * Participate in an online or in-person patient navigation program for 4 weeks * Answer the study surveys at baseline and 4 weeks of follow-up
