Summary

The goal of this study is to create and test a new program led by nurse navigators to help women who experience early menopause after cancer. The program includes personalized menopause education, decision support, and skills to manage menopause symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the program easy to join, engaging, and well-received by participants? 2. Does the program group show greater improvements in knowledge, decision-making, confidence, and menopause symptom management compared to the control group? Participants will complete sessions of either the program being tested or an educational control program with a nurse navigator via video. Participants will also complete questionnaires when they start the study and again about 10 weeks later.
