Project REACH

Project REACH (Recover, Empower, Adapt, Cope and Heal) is an intervention study that combines support and health information into a digital format to improve health outcomes among Black women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The program is part of a research study at the University of Florida and is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. We use 10 short, highly engaging, films to deliver valuable breast cancer health information and structured support over a ten week period to engage women in self-management of their treatment process.  At the beginning and end of the study, we schedule women for a brief assessment that asks questions about their understanding of breast cancer and their relationship with their cancer doctor. If eligible, any information we ask will not be revealed to anyone, and participants will earn up to $60 for completing the entire program.
