title: Breast cancer Internet information and support (BCIIS): How are older persons different?
abstract: The Breast Cancer Internet Information and Support study (BCIIS) is an online needs assessment that asks persons with breast cancer what types of informational and support features they would most prefer in Internet-based programming related to breast cancer. Preliminary analyses indicate significant differences in characteristics of older respondents related to physical and mental health as well as online support needs.
