Internet Support and Information for Women with Breast Cancer

Traditional methods of providing psychosocial interventions for cancer patients are associated with positive patient outcomes but have limited overall impact attributable to low participation rates. The purpose of this project is to implement and evaluate the efficacy of a computer-based psychosocial intervention for women with breast cancer. At the end of the second year of funding, we have continued to implement the SURVIVE intervention, and results from the second year are summarized in this annual report. 243 women have been screened in the UAB breast cancer clinics, and of these 243 women, 109 (45%) have agreed to participate. At the time this analysis was conducted, 69 of these 109 patients had been enrolled and randomized into the trial.
