  • Acculturation, Socio-Economic Status, and Rural Residence as Factors in Breast Cancer Screening Among Asian Americans in Olmsted County and Surrounding Counties Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of acculturation, socio-economic status (SES) and place of residence (urban vs. rural) on the level of participation in breast cancer screening programs and on the breast cancer knowledge and beliefs among Asian American women in Olmsted and surrounding counties.
  • Mindfulness-Based Intervention in Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy Rochester, Minn.

    There is evidence that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) such as meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and yoga might improve Quality of Life (QOL) and reduce stress in breast cancer survivors. These interventions are becoming increasingly popular in cancer survivors. However, little is known about the feasibility and effect of MBIs administered during the interval of time of chemotherapy, on QOL and stress. The investigators are planning a MBI intervention study developed specifically for breast cancer survivors receiving chemotherapy (usually 4-5 months) at the investigators institution, for at least 8 sessions combined with at least 8 weeks of home-practice, in 25 women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.
  • The Wellness Coaching Intervention: The Road to Wellness after Breast Cancer Rochester, Minn.
