Our interdisciplinary team developed a written cancer patient education tool, the Breast Cancer Navigation Kit, to respond to the information needs of patients and family members and that meet patient literacy levels. A literature review and a focus group provided content development for four modules: "About Breast Cancer," "Body-Mind-Spirit," "After Treatment Ends," and "Practical Information." An evaluation by 31 women showed the kit to be easy to understand, very useful, and informative. However, all agreed that it could not replace the dialogue with health care professionals. An interdisciplinary approach involving patient feedback is key to develop appropriate patient education tools.
