Supporting someone living with metastatic breast cancer? sharing your experience can help others!

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin are seeking participants for the COPE-MBC study to understand how people living with metastatic breast cancer, along with their partners, deal with cancer-related cognitive difficulties in daily life. Both individuals with metastatic breast cancer and their partners must enroll. 

You and your partner may be eligible to participate if: 

Your romantic partner has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer  

You live together 

Both partners must reside in the U.S. or Mexico, be at least 21 years of age, have daily access to a smartphone and to a computer with internet. 

All study procedures are done remotely. If you participate, you will be asked to: 

Complete a baseline survey (about 40 minutes) 

Complete daily surveys at the end of the day (about 10 minutes) for 7 days each month for 3 months.  

Your partner will be asked to: 

Complete a baseline survey and cognitive testing battery (about 1 hour)  

Complete daily surveys at the end of the day (about 10 minutes) for 7 days each month for 3 months.  

Total time requirement is approximately 5 hours across 3 months. You will receive up to a $114 gift card as appreciation or completing this study and your partner will receive up to $144.
