Summary
This trial will assess how a community pharmacy-based program impacts adherence and experience of women having AET after hormone-sensitive breast cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 in Quebec, Canada who have started adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) for the first time within the last 6 months after being diagnosed with non-metastatic, hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Participants must be fluent in French, have internet access, and agree to stay with their current pharmacy throughout the study.
What is being tested?
The PACHA program is being tested to see if it helps women stick to their AET after breast cancer. It's a community pharmacy-based support system that includes web training for pharmacists and resources like videos and booklets for patients. The study will compare pharmacies using PACHA against those providing usual care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on adherence support rather than a medical intervention, there are no direct side effects from drugs or treatments involved. However, participants may experience varying levels of satisfaction or psychological impact from the additional support.
