Important Cancer Survivor Study for Persons with Disabilities

Are you a cancer survivor who had limitation in activities of daily living prior to your cancer?

 

The University of Texas at Austin – School of Nursing invites you to participate in a study to help them understand how cancer survivors who had a functional limitation or disability prior to being diagnosed with cancer take care of their health. This study is funded by the National Cancer Institute. You can earn up to $25 by completing a questionnaire packet about your health status, health-promoting behaviors, and quality of life. This information will help health care providers work more effectively with survivors with pre-existing disabling conditions. Reseachres are particularly interested in reaching members of minority ethnic and/or racial groups, who may be less likely to participate in such studies. You must have completed active treatment to participate.

If you are over the age of 21 and interested in participating in this study, please contact:
