Musicians: The Life and Livelihood Study

My name is Sarah Schmalenberger, PhD. My research partners and I are seeking information from physiatrists, massage and physical therapists, nurses, oncologists, psychiatrists, and other medical/healthcare practitioners who have treated female musicians in some capacity either during or after their treatment for breast cancer.  

 Our research  "The Life and Livelihood Study" is an ongoing project to describe and understand the experience of women musicians in the United States who have been treated for breast cancer.  As we are currently publishing our data collected from women musician survivors who enrolled in the study, we are also launching the next phase of our inquiry to collect data from those who treat musician survivors.
