A Telehealth Intervention to Increase Patient Preparedness for Surgery in Latinas

Description

There are 3 aims of this study. In Aim 1 community patient partners will be enrolled to help guide the research being performed in all of the aims. Investigators will also administer a survey that will help determine factors associated with surgical preparedness. In Aim 2 investigators will develop an intervention to increase surgical preparedness using Human Centered Design Methods. Aim 3 will pilot test the intervention using mixed methods to determine feasibility and implementation outcomes.
