Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial studies peer navigator education in improving survivorship care in African American breast cancer survivors. An educational intervention involving peer groups may help to improve the well-being and quality of life (QOL) in breast cancer survivors

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the ability of peer navigation (PN) to improve understanding of survivorship care planning (SCP) at 6 months. II. To promote adherence to the SCP schedule of follow-up examinations at 12 months. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effect of PN on change from baseline in medical efficacy, preparedness for life as new survivor, and physical and health related QOL at 6 months. OUTLINE: PNs are trained on medical issues and resources, and SCP. Participants are then randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Participants receive 4 PN sessions tailored to their needs followed by a 6 month booster session and American Cancer Society (ACS) materials. ARM II: Participants receive ACS materials. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 and 12 months.
