Eun-Ok Im, PhD, MPH, RN, CNS, FAAN and her colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin are conducting a research study to test the effectiveness of a technology-based information and coaching/support program for Asian American women living with breast cancer, accounting for cancer pain management.
Currently, they are in the process of recruiting participants to enroll in the study. They are looking for an Asian American woman aged 18 years and older who has had a breast cancer diagnosis in the past; can read and write English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean or Japanese; have access to the Internet; and identify their sub-ethnicity as Chinese, Korean, or Japanese.
Eligible participants who agree to join the study will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Depending on the group that you are randomly assigned, you may or may not be asked to use the technology-based program. You will be asked to 1) use the educational information (the American Cancer Society breast cancer survivorship website that is provided by the research team), or 2) participate the online forum and 1:1 coaching/support program. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire for three times. Your participation will last about 3 months. After the program is finished, each participant will receive $150 e-gift card. Please note that your participation is voluntary, and you can withdraw your participation at any time.
