Research Study Recruitment

Couplelinks.ca
The First Online Intervention for Young Women with Breast Cancer and Their Male Partners

Picture
This research is studying Couplelinks.ca, a professionally facilitated online workshop tailored specially to the needs of young couples affected by breast cancer. The 6-session program entails reading the web-based materials (topics include: mutual support, communication, intimacy, fertility and/or parenting concerns) and participating in weekly relationship enhancement exercises.

Who is eligible to participate?
  • Women must have a diagnosis of breast cancer without metastases
  • Women must be involved in a committed relationship with a male partner
  • Women who were 45 years of age or younger at the time of diagnosis (no restrictions on age of male partner)
  • Women who are within 36 months of their original diagnosis
  • Women can be at any stage of treatment or recovery from treatment; however, we find that it is easier to participate once active treatment has been completed
