A group of investigators is conducting an online survey of the knowledge of patients, friends, and family members about cancers of the reproductive system and their treatment, including prostate cancer. Your sitemaster has already completed the survey, was able to do it in about 12 minutes, and admits to not knowing the answers to some questions (which he was able to skip). If you are interested, you can just click here to take the survey. The formal invitation approved by the Institutional Review Board is given below.
Knowledge of Cancer, Its Treatments and Their Side Effects
We are studying people’s knowledge about reproductive-related cancers, their treatment options, and side effects. We are focusing on various communities affected by these diseases. Our study addresses testicular and prostate cancers in males, and breast, uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers in females. We are interested in what patients with any of these cancers know about the other cancers. We are also interested in how some of the language about treatments is understood.
You do not need to be an expert to help out. The questionnaire is for people who are themselves, or have a family member, affected by any of these diseases. The questionnaire takes about 15 minutes to complete. If you are interested in helping out please click here.
