PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the health benefits of expressive writing compared with the control condition. II. To characterize how acculturation moderates the effects of expressive writing interventions. III. To identify mechanisms explaining the benefits of the interventions using mixed methods. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms. ARM I (CONTROL): Patients write about facts regarding their cancer diagnosis and treatment for 3 weekly 30-minute sessions. ARM II (SELF-REGULATION): Patients write about stress and coping, emotional disclosure, and benefit finding for 3 weekly 30-minute sessions. ARM III (SELF-CULTIVATION): Patients write about positive thoughts and feelings regarding their breast cancer experience for 3 weekly 30-minute sessions. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 6 weeks and at 6 and 12 months.
