My name is Peggie Chan, and I am part of the research team at the University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing, led by Eun-Ok Im, Ph.D., MPH, RN, CNS, FAAN. We are currently conducting several important research studies and are in the process of recruiting participants, one of which is the project on cancer pain management for Asian American Breast Cancer Survivors. We wondered if you could share the flyers with your Asian American community.

 

 

The following is the summary of the research project:

 

We 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; has access to the Internet; and identifies 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 in the online forum and 1:1 coaching/support program. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire three times. Your participation will last about 3 months. After the program is finished, each participant will receive $50 e-gift card, totaling up to $150. Please note that your participation is voluntary, and you can withdraw your participation at any time.
