Breast Cancer Survivors and Their Partners Needed for Research Study!

ARE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR?  We need your help!
 
Researchers at Purdue University are looking for breast cancer survivors and their romantic partners to take part in a study exploring how relationships and stress affect couples' immune and cardiovascular systems during survivorship.

Couples in survivorship who are living and have completed cancer treatment are eligible.
 
COUPLES WILL BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR TIME.

Detailed Description

Who is eligible to participate?
  • Females, ages 18 and older, who are breast cancer survivors (stage I-IIIA)
  • Survivors must have a cohabiting partner who is interested in participation and eligible for the couple to be enrolled in the study
  • Survivors will have completed cancer treatment (except for longer-term hormonal therapies) 
  • Remote and in-person options (Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN) available
**Both partners must be willing to participate; you cannot take part in the study if your partner does not participate at the same time. Certain medical conditions and medications may exclude you from participating. Study personnel will determine final eligibility during screening.
 
What is involved if I participate?

Will I be compensated?
