DID YOU HELP CARE FOR A
FAMILY MEMBER WHILE THEY
WERE RECEIVING CANCER TREATMENT?
The National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, is
currently in the process of developing new educational materials for
cancer patients & their families. As part of this effort, we plan to conduct
a series of telephone focus groups with individuals who helped care for a
family member while he or she received cancer treatment. Participants
will be paid for their time.
If you have taken care of a family member with cancer, you may be
eligible to participate in this project. We are looking for people of
different racial/ethnic backgrounds, ages, and education levels.
Participation in one (1) 90-minute telephone focus group is the only
requirement. No travel or follow-up is necessary.
If the following statements describe you, then we are interested in
speaking with you further:
· You are between the ages of 21 and 85.
· You helped care for a spouse, partner, parent or sibling with cancer.
· You are not currently being treated for cancer yourself.
· You are not a physician, nurse or other health professional.
Your opinion is very important to us ­ and we would value your
input. If you are interested in participating in this project, please
call Scott Bass at Blarry House Research (1-877-333-0031 toll free) or
e-mail him (scott@blarry.com) by November 30, 2002. When you call,
please indicate it is in reference to the "Survivorship Focus Groups."
· THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ·
