The Exploration of Body Image amongst Adult Women
What is the purpose of the study?
The purpose of this study is to explore the thoughts and feelings that adult women possess regarding their appearance.
We are including women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as women who have not. We are interested in whether the nature of, and influences on body image are similar or different between women who have, and have not, received a diagnosis of breast cancer.
Findings will help to inform the development of a body image intervention amongst women with breast cancer.
