Summary

The central goal of this randomized, controlled pilot study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an educational intervention (called "Starting the Conversation"; STC) on patient communication about sexual health in gynecologic cancer and other patient health outcomes. Approximately 30 women with a diagnosis of gynecologic cancer will be randomized to either participate in either the Starting the Conversation (STC) condition, consisting of an educational video, workbook, and list of resources on sexual and menopausal health, or to a control condition offering the resource guide only. Patients will be asked to review intervention materials prior to their next clinic visit with their gynecologic cancer provider. The investigators will examine effects of the interventions on patients' beliefs about communication about sexual health and on patients' communication about sexual health during clinic visits with their providers. Secondarily, the investigators will examine effects of the interventions on sexual outcomes and other health outcomes, including psychological well-being.
