BEHAVIORAL

Patient Assistance

Patients will be surveyed to assess their knowledge about cancer \& its treatment, experience with \& access to health care system, trust, depression, social support \& self-efficacy. A Brief Screening Needs Assessment will be done to ascertain practical, informational or psychosocial needs; based on their responses, an individualized action plan to connect with patient assistance programs will be created for the intervention group. We will ask intervention patients if they connected with any programs in their action plan. For those who didn't connect, we will give their name to an outreach worker. The outreach worker will call patients and identify reasons for not contacting the assistance programs.

BEHAVIORAL

Information only

Control patients will be sent a pamphlet about breast cancer \& its treatment. We will call all patients 2 weeks later and ask if they received the packet. If they didn't, we will send the packet again.
