An Impact Assessment of a Culturally Tailored Online Psychosocial Program for Chinese Immigrant Women With Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an online psychosocial self-help program for Chinese immigrant women with breast cancer, by comparing Chinese immigrant women who receive the online psychosocial program and those who do not receive the program.

The investigators want to understand if this online psychosocial program is effective in helping Chinese immigrant women to feel more supported, understand that the distress is normal, engage in self-care activities, become aware of the community resources, feel more confident about returning to a normal life, and feel less distress overall as they return to life after treatment. This information will help us to better understand these Chinese immigrant women's needs and concerns and plan future growth of the program to meet their personal, cultural, and language needs.
