Abstract
Background/Purpose:The following presentation has the purpose of taking into consideration the important role mental health providers play within the interdisciplinary team to promote culturally competent psychoeducation in Latinx women with vulvar cancer.The prevalence of gynecological cancers in the Latinx community is increasing.The importance of psychoeducation to understand and apply new skills on how to request a second medical opinion serves as a tool to inform and empower in their decision-making process.Plus, promoting the reduction of stigma for this type of cancer in underserved populations within interprofessional teams.Methods: The presentation will describe the clinical case of a 57 years/o Latinx/Puerto Rican woman diagnosed with stage 2 vulvar cancer who was referred for services to assist with the distress of receiving the diagnosis, making decisions regarding her treatment options and adjustment to the diagnosis.The conceptual framework of Rogler, Malgady, & Rodríguez (1989), will help us organize clinical services according to a hypothetical temporal sequence composed of five phases.The theoretical framework emphasizes the relevance of integrating evidence-based practices such as psychoeducation in the provision of health services to the Latinx populations.Results: Recognizing the growth of gynecological cancers in the Latinx/ Puerto Rican population (Reyes et al., 2015; & PR Cancer Registry, 2017) it is important to integrate cultural factors when working with minority women with vulvar cancer (Davila-Rivera, 2019).Identifying the integration of a culturally sensitive framework, interventions can be developed and implemented.The use of psychoeducation to promote empowerment during the treatment decision making process and during treatment can be beneficial (Chow et al. 2020). Conclusions and Implications:Acknowledging the positive impact of psychoeducation (Chow et al., 2020), in combination with cultural competency as important elements when providing services to Latinx cancer patients with vulvar cancer.This intervention promotes an improvement in the patient's health seeking behaviors, decision making process, and quality of life for minority patients.Plus, expanding the repertoire of tools for mental health providers working with this population. Conclusions and Implications:Recognizing the relevance of presenting and exploring the clinical experiences of Latinxs with vulvar cancer promotes the importance of psychoeducation as an intervention that will promote empowerment to effectively communicate with their medical providers.In combination with a conceptual framework of Rogler, Malgady, & Rodríguez (1989), will help us to organize culturally competent clinical services and mental health/ medical research according to the needs of the patients when deciding their treatment options.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
