Overview
Brief Summary
This study tests a novel intervention designed to optimize needed survivorship care for low-risk breast cancer survivors while reducing burdensome care with limited health benefits. This study examines whether the intervention, titled REASSURE, improves survivors' preparedness for survivorship. Up to 110 participants will be on study for up to 18 months.
Detailed Description
The investigators plan a single site prospective, randomized, trial that will compare the effect of REASSURE on survivor preparedness against usual care. Survivors will be identified from breast oncology clinics within UW Health. REASSURE is comprised of three components: 1) the REASSURE PRO assessment, which assesses survivors' symptoms and/or concerns, 2) a recommendation for or against a follow-up visit based on survivors reported symptoms /concerns using pre-established thresholds, and 3) REASSURE survivorship messaging. * Primary Objective * Compare survivors' preparedness for survivorship with REASSURE versus usual care. * Secondary Objectives * Determine the acceptability of REASSURE for survivors living in rural and non-rural areas. * Assess changes in survivor reported symptoms and number of follow-up visits with REASSURE versus usual care.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Preparing for Life as a (New) Survivor (PLANS) Scale Score: Part 1
Time Frame: up to 18 months
Survivors' preparedness for survivorship will be assessed using Part 1 of the Preparing for Life as a (New) Survivor (PLANS) scale. This is an 11-item survey scored on a 4 point likert scale for a total possible range of score from 11 - 44 where higher scores indicate increased preparedness.
Preparing for Life as a (New) Survivor (PLANS) Scale Score: Part 2
Time Frame: up to 18 months
Survivors' confidence about follow-up will be assessed using Part 2 of the Preparing for Life as a (New) Survivor (PLANS) scale. This is a 5-item survey scored on a 10 point likert scale for a total possible range of score from 5 - 50 where higher scores indicate increased confidence.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Threshold-Level Symptoms Reported on the PRO Assessment(up to 18 months)
- Number of Follow Up Visits(up to 18 months)
- Number of Participants In Intervention Arm who would recommend this approach to follow-up to other survivors(up to 18 months)
- Number of Threshold-Level Symptoms Survivors Perceive are Addressed on each visit(up to 18 months)
