Women at risk for breast cancer report elevated psychological distress, which has been adversely associated with cancer-relevant behaviors and biology. The present study sought to examine the effects of a 10-week cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) group intervention on distress among women with a family history of breast cancer. Participants were randomly assigned to CBSM (N= 82) or a wait-list comparison group (N=76). Baseline to post-intervention effects of CBSM on depressive symptoms and perceived stress were examined using hierarchical regression. CBSM participants reported significantly lower post-treatment depressive symptoms (β=−0.17, p<0.05) and perceived stress (β= − 0.23, p<0.05) than wait-list comparison participants. Additionally, greater relaxation practice predicted lower distress. Group-based CBSM intervention is feasible and can reduce psychological distress among women with a family history of breast cancer. The present findings represent an encouraging avenue for the future application of CBSM. (Clinicaltrials.gov number NCT00121160)
