Researchers at the University of Connecticut are seeking people with metastatic breast cancer to participate in a study about their intimate experiences while facing cancer.
We are asking people with metastatic breast cancer to complete a 45-minute online survey that includes scales asking about health, sexuality, communication, and well-being, as well as open-ended questions asking how you define sexuality, how you express sexuality, and how you communicate with your partner about sexuality. All data will be collected anonymously.
You may qualify to participate if you are someone who is:
1) A woman
2) Diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer
3) 18 years of age or older
4) Located in the United States
5) In a romantic relationship of at least 3 months that currently or has previously involved sexual activity
6) Experiencing relational or sexual changes in the relationship due to cancer diagnosis and/or treatment
7) Willing to share experiences regarding your sexuality and sexual relationship with your partner, including how cancer may have influenced these aspects of your relationship
If you believe you meet these qualifications and would like to participate, please complete the screening survey: https://tinyurl.com/UConnMBCStudy
