improves the quality of life of Latinas diagnosed with breast cancer. Trained Latina
counselors who have had breast cancer provide support to recently diagnosed women. The
investigators call these counselors peer support counselors.
This study will assess the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM)
intervention for newly diagnosed Latina breast cancer patients. In our prior work, the
investigators established the appropriate content of the intervention, the need for early
intervention, and the value of culturally competent peer support. In this study the
investigators will adapt an evidence-based CBSM intervention designed to meet these needs.
This study will use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with a wait-listed usual care
control group to adapt the intervention and test its effectiveness in improving breast cancer
specific quality-of-life, and decreasing anxiety and breast cancer specific distress. The
new, adapted intervention will be called "Nuevo Amanecer" (A New Dawn).
