About this study

This study is being done to pilot a web-based research intervention tool. The investigators hope that by piloting it with the participants they can improve the tool and the other processes. The main purpose of this pilot study is to test the web-based interface, the participant's engagement with the platform, and the recruitment procedures. This initial pilot study will inform the design of a larger study intended to monitor common symptoms and behavior, and to provide supportive care information and research opportunities in an iterative manner for young women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer using the YES portal, built for smartphones, tablets, and computers.
