The Breast Cancer Survivors and Partners Online Research Together (SUPORT) Project

This study, called the SUPORT Project, is looking at ways to help breast cancer survivors and their supportive partners with depression and anxiety after cancer treatment. It's testing two types of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), which are meditation techniques. One type, CBCT-S, is for survivors only. The other, CBCT-D, is for survivors and their partners together. There's also a Health Education group for both survivors and partners, which acts as a comparison. The study aims to see if CBCT can reduce depression and anxiety more effectively than health education, and if receiving CBCT with a partner is more helpful than receiving it alone. You may be able to join if you are a woman who has had breast cancer, finished primary treatments (like surgery or chemotherapy) 3 months to 5 years ago, and can speak English. The study is looking to enroll 452 participants.
