This grant will build on our work that South Asian breast cancer survivors and family caregivers experience culturally entrenched stigma and taboos that can worsen their stress, lead to social isolation and loneliness, and interfere with obtaining timely care. We will partner with community leaders locally, in India, South Asian survivors, and South Asian family caregivers in this research.
