Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants Adherent to Endocrine Therapy (ET) and CVD Medication at 24 Weeks	24 Weeks	Adherence to ET and CVD medication is a composite of both medication refills at 24 weeks (proportion of days covered (PDC) ≥80%) and self-report of taking the medication (as per DOSE-Nonadherence questionnaire; 3-item questionnaire in which participants with perfect adherence on each item will be categorized as adherent). Participants will be categorized as adherent if they have medication available by pharmacy fills and report being adherent to taking their pills day-today via self report.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants Adherent to ET and CVD Medication at 52 Weeks	52 Weeks	Adherence to ET and CVD medication is a composite of both medication refills at 52 weeks (proportion of days covered (PDC) ≥80%) and self-report of taking the medication (as per DOSE-Nonadherence questionnaire; 3-item questionnaire in which participants with perfect adherence on each item will be categorized as adherent). Participants will be categorized as adherent if they have medication available by pharmacy fills and report being adherent to taking their pills day-today via self report.
Change in blood pressure at 24 weeks	Baseline to 24 weeks	To compare office blood pressure changes from baseline to 24 weeks
Change in blood pressure at 52 weeks	Baseline to 52 weeks	To compare office blood pressure changes from baseline to 52 weeks
Change in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol	Baseline to 52 weeks	To compare changes in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from baseline to 52 weeks.
Changes in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 at 24 weeks	Baseline and 24 weeks	To evaluate changes in healthcare related quality of life (HRQOL), measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 at baseline and 24 weeks. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 is a well-validated assessment tool that includes 29 questions evaluating 7 domains including physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep, social functioning, and pain interference (which is often associated with ET adherence). Several of these measures have been important determinants of medication adherence and have the potential to moderate intervention effects.
Changes in Medical Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) at 24 Weeks	Baseline and 24 weeks	To compare participants' self-efficacy with their medication regimens as measured by the Medical Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) at baseline and 24 weeks. MASES is a 13-item form, 12 of the items ask about confidence in ability to make medication adherence part of daily routine. The total scale ranges from 1-4, and it is an average score of all 13 items.
Changes in the Medical Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) at 52 Weeks	Baseline and 52 weeks	To compare participants' self-efficacy with their medication regimens as measured by the Medical Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (MASES) at baseline and 52 weeks. MASES is a 13-item form, 12 of the items ask about confidence in ability to make medication adherence part of daily routine. The total scale ranges from 1-4, and it is an average score of all 13 items.

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 is a well-validated assessment tool that includes 29 questions evaluating 7 domains including physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep, social functioning, and pain interference (which is often associated with ET adherence). Several of these measures have been important determinants of medication adherence and have the potential to moderate intervention effects.
Changes in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) at 24 Weeks	Baseline and 24 weeks	To compare participants' satisfaction with their medication regimens as measured by the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). The 14-item TSQM Version 1.4 is a reliable and valid instrument to assess participants' satisfaction with medication, providing scores on four scales - side effects, effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction.
Changes in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) at 52 Weeks	Baseline and 52 weeks	To compare participants' satisfaction with their medication regimens, as measured by the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). The 14-item TSQM Version 1.4 is a reliable and valid instrument to assess participants' satisfaction with medication, providing scores on four scales - side effects, effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction.
Change in Regimen Complexity	Baseline and at 52 weeks	To evaluate regimen complexity at baseline and at 52 weeks. This will be extracted through manual chart review from the EHR. The investigators will extract total number of prescription medications and frequency of dosing for CVD medications as ET is once daily.
Subject reasons using the DOSE-Nonadherence reasons for nonadherence questionnaire	at baseline	To evaluate reasons for medication nonadherence at baseline using the DOSE-Nonadherence reasons for nonadherence questionnaire
Reasons for Medication Non-adherence using the DOSE-Nonadherence Reasons for Nonadherence Questionnaire at 24 Weeks	24 weeks	To evaluate reasons for medication nonadherence at 24 weeks using the DOSE-Nonadherence reasons for nonadherence questionnaire. The DOSE-Nonadherence Reasons for Nonadherence questionnaire asks how much 21 reasons for nonadherence contribute to missing doses such as trouble affording medications, insufficient social support, complexity of regimen, and concerns about adverse effects. This will be used to assess the effect of the intervention on barriers to adherence.
Reasons for Medication Non-adherence using the DOSE-Nonadherence Reasons for Nonadherence Questionnaire at 52 Weeks	52 weeks	To evaluate reasons for medication nonadherence at 52 weeks using the DOSE-Nonadherence reasons for nonadherence questionnaire. The DOSE-Nonadherence Reasons for Nonadherence questionnaire asks how much 21 reasons for nonadherence contribute to missing doses such as trouble affording medications, insufficient social support, complexity of regimen, and concerns about adverse effects. This will be used to assess the effect of the intervention on barriers to adherence.
Impact of events using the Impact of Events Scale (IES)	Baseline	To evaluate the impact of events using the Impact of Events Scale (IES) to evaluate intrusive and avoidant thoughts about participant's underlying breast cancer diagnosis at baseline. IES is a 15-item scale which queries intrusive and avoidant thoughts about a distressing event (breast cancer) in the past 7 days (similar to post-traumatic stress disorder \[PTSD\] symptoms). Each item has a scoring range of 0 (not at all)-5(often). This scale has been associated with disparities in ET and CVD medication nonadherence
