Brief description of study

Why is this study being done?

Researchers at Indiana University are interested in hearing from females who have breast asymmetry (differences in size or shape between breasts).  We want to better understand how people feel about their breast size and any dissatisfaction they may have with their breast asymmetry.  Information from this survey will assist us in providing meaningful healthcare to women with this condition. 

Who can take part?

Women and teens (ages 14 or older), whose assigned sex at birth is female, who have breast asymmetry (breasts that are different shapes or sizes).
