First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an online self-help program called Together After Cancer for Latina breast cancer survivors and their intimate partners. The program includes brief coach calls and aims to improve the survivor's quality of life and the couple's relationship satisfaction. About 480 couples will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care, and they will be followed for about 5 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, online tool to help breast cancer survivors and their partners feel better emotionally and strengthen their relationship.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a medical treatment, so it won't affect the cancer itself. The results depend on couples actually using the program, and benefits may be modest or short-lived.
