Assessing Cognitive Outcomes in Everyday Life After Breast Cancer Study

Study Overview and Eligibility Criteria

If you have been treated for breast cancer (stage I-III) within the past five years, you may be eligible to participate in our study! We are enrolling cancer survivors who are at least 21 years old, were treated for breast cancer, live in the United States, and have a smartphone.

We hope to learn more about how to measure the impact of cognition changes on everyday life following cancer treatment. We aim to study cognitive functioning “in the wild” (i.e., in the context of every day life), where it matters most. We will use information collected in this study to define cancer-related cognitive functioning in a diverse sample of cancer survivors.

Participants will be asked to complete two virtual study visits and 28 mini assessments on their smartphones between virtual study visits:

• The two virtual visits can be suited to fit the participant’s schedule. Each virtual visit will take 45-60 minutes and include cognitive tasks and surveys on the participant’s computer/tablet. Surveys will include questions about personal and health history in addition to rating of everyday functioning, quality of life, psychological functioning, cognitive functioning, and fatigue. Participants will also be asked about their satisfaction with the study at the end.
• The mini assessments will occur 1X/day 28 times between the two virtual visits. Participants will complete surveys that include a series of questions related to their symptoms (for example, “how happy do you feel right now?” or “how bad are your cognitive symptoms right now?”) and four cognitive brain games each day on their smartphone. These will take approximately 10 min/day to complete.

Study Appreciation: Participants will receive up to $78 for your participation in this study.
