Join FOCUS: Facing Forward

Are you a cancer survivor or a family member interested in participating in a study that promotes healthy behaviors after treatment?


We invite you to see if you're eligible to participate in FOCUS: Facing Forward.

We are currently recruiting participants for an intervention study, called FOCUS: Facing Forward, for African American adults who have completed treatment for early-stage breast or colorectal cancer and their adult family members. The overall goal is to improve lifestyle behavior engagement and quality of life by addressing both individual and family-level needs and maximizing the potentially synergistic effects of family support.
