They may be aided by models of healthy communication that illustrate both women's perspectives. Families establish normative communication patterns that inform how they cope. We used family communication patterns theory to examine correlations between openness\/avoidance and health. We extended this by capturing mother\u2010daughter open\/avoidant narratives to illustrate how these behaviors function in helpful (health\u2010promoting) and unhelpful ways.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Phase 1 of this mixed\u2010method study involved 41 patients and 37 mothers\/daughters (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a078) completing surveys on mother\u2010daughter openness, avoidant coping, and quality of life. Phase 2 involved interviews with 40 patients and 38 mothers\/daughters (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a078) to ascertain what diagnosed women share (or do not share) with their mother\/daughter and their reasons.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Diagnosed women reporting more open mother\u2010daughter bonds had better relational health (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.730,<jats:italic>P\u00a0&lt;<\/jats:italic>\u00a0.001).

Mothers and daughters talked about treatment side effects and procedures, disease risk and prevention, and medical decisions. They avoided discussions about distressing emotions and topics as well as uncertainty about the future. Motivations to disclose\/avoid centered on protecting themselves and\/or their mother\/daughter. Qualitative findings illustrate the tension between openness and avoidance. Developmental differences and relational role perspectives illustrate women's diverse needs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>A history of openness is linked
