Daily life tracking for long-term breast cancer survivors
Daily Stress Process and Daily Cognitive Performance Among Racially Diverse Breast Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility and Validation Study
Thomas Jefferson University · NCT07054723
This project will test a 14-day mobile daily diary with brief thinking tasks to see if it works well for racially diverse breast cancer survivors who are at least five years past diagnosis.

What this trial studies
Researchers will recruit 30 racially diverse breast cancer survivors aged 40 and older who are at least five years post-diagnosis from the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center. Participants will complete a baseline mobile survey on day 1, then short morning (2–3 minutes) and evening (5–7 minutes) mobile diaries from days 2–14, with three brief objective cognitive tasks after each diary. Surveys will be available in English, Spanish, and Chinese and study data will be stored on password-protected phones configured for study use only. The project aims to test the feasibility and to examine the reliability and validity of daily stress and cognitive performance measures in this population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal participants are breast cancer survivors aged 40 or older who are at least five years post-diagnosis, identify as Asian, Black, Latina, or white, can read English, Spanish, or Chinese, and can use a mobile phone to complete brief twice-daily surveys for 14 days.
Not a fit: People under 40, less than five years post-diagnosis, unable to read English, Spanish, or Chinese, or unable/unwilling to use a mobile phone are unlikely to benefit from this pilot.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide an easy, language-accessible way to monitor daily stress and thinking in long-term breast cancer survivors and help guide supportive care.
How similar studies have performed: Similar mobile daily-diary (ecological momentary assessment) methods and brief mobile cognitive tasks have shown feasibility and valid measurement in other populations, though they are less commonly tested specifically among racially diverse, long-term breast cancer survivors.
