| Final Survey Results per Study Arm | Investigators plan to assess if the psycho-educational intervention, PHIN, delivered by a CN is more efficacious as compared to NCI Information Booklets (IB) delivered by a CN. Participants will be asked to complete a baseline set of surveys and follow-up surveys at three additional time points: (1) 6 weeks after receiving the educational intervention; (2) after the follow-up decision with their doctor or health care provider; and (3) 6 months after the baseline surveys were done. | 6 months post baseline survey |
