GLASS "Knowledge of Cancer Questionnaire"

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... Link to Survey
