African-American breast cancer survivors may be at high risk for reproductive health problems, including menopause symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and distress about cancer-related infertility. We partnered with Sisters Network® Inc. to create the SPIRIT program, a culturally sensitive intervention program combining a written workbook and peer counseling. Three hundred women were randomized either to receive the workbook plus three in-person sessions with a trained peer counselor, or the workbook plus ≤ 30 minutes of telephone counseling, to be initiated by the participant. Questionnaires at baseline, post-treatment, and 6- and 12-month follow-ups assessed emotional distress, sexual function, relationship satisfaction, spirituality, menopause symptoms, and knowledge. Satisfaction with the program and utilization of medical care were also assessed. Both groups of women improved significantly in knowledge, decreased in distress, and had decreased hot flashes. Sexually active women had improved sexual function at 6-month follow-up, but not at one year. Peer counseling had little incremental benefit over the telephone counseling group, however. The SPIRIT program was rated very useful by 66% of women. Outcomes justify continued use of the workbook and further research to optimize the impact of peer counseling.
