Trial Summary
In this trial, researchers will assess three types of social support in the Social Intervention for Support during Treatment for Endometrial Cancer and Recurrence (SISTER) program for Black patients undergoing treatment for endometrial cancer. The three types of social support are: group support, 1:1 peer support, and enhanced usual care. SISTER aims at improving treatment completion and decreasing social isolation for Black patients. The study will randomly assign the participant into one of three groups.
