Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop, deliver, and evaluate the KEEP IT (Keep Each Other Engaged via IT) CHW Training to increase resources and support for identifying Black women at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). My goals are to conduct focus groups with community health workers to identify topics of interest for the initial curriculum, use a three-round Delphi process to refine and finalize an educational curriculum for CHWs focused on building trainee's digital health literacy to enhance identification and navigation of Black women at high-risk for HBOC, and to use implementation science methods to deliver and evaluate the educational training program consisting of a 1.5-day virtual workshop followed by five online modules.

Aim 1: Conduct focus groups with up to 10 community health workers to explore the topics that need to be covered as part of the KEEP IT training.

Aim 2: Use a three-round Delphi process to refine and finalize an educational curriculum for CHWs focused on building trainee's digital health literacy to enhance identification and navigation of Black women at high-risk for HBOC

Aim 3: Use implementation science methods to deliver and evaluate the educational training program consisting of a 1.5-day virtual workshop followed by five online modules
