Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

- Control Group
- description
- Participants randomized to the Control group will receive standard care (no intervention). They will be used as a baseline to compare groups and assess the effect of the intervention (i.e., the online psychosocial program). At the two weeks following randomization (T1) and the 3-month follow-up periods (T2), they will be asked to complete the questionnaire and distress survey and return them in a self-addressed stamped envelope. Participants will be given two weeks to complete the questionnaire and distress survey. The same documents will be administered at the 3-month follow-up period (T2). Once the 3-month follow-up is completed, each participant will be provided with the website link to view the self-help program.
