- Brief Summary
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 by ≥30% 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?
Researchers will compare the online patient navigation program to traditional in-person patient navigation providing referrals to in-person supportive care services to assess if online patient navigation increases patients' access to supportive care services.
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
