Gay & Bisexual Prostate Cancer Survey-for USA&Canada

[Guest guest]

Gay & Bisexual Prostate Cancer Survey

Gay and Bisexual men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer are invited to participate

in a survey. Latini, PhD, the Houston Texas Malecare Gay Men with

Prostate Cancer support group leader, is one of the principle investigators.

This survey began in September 2008 and will continue until 100 men are

interviewed.

The Department of Urology at Baylor College of Medicine and Ryerson

University in Toronto, Canada, are trying to understand how prostate cancer

affects the lives of gay and bisexual men. The survey explores how gay men feel

about their prostate cancer diagnosis, what treatments they have received, and

how those treatments may have affected their lives and relationships.

You'll get a short phone call to make sure you are eligible and then you'll be

asked to complete a web-based survey. That will take about 45 minutes.

The survey will include questions about how prostate cancer has affected your

health and your relationships. Some questions will ask about treatment-related

side-effects.

Partners of participants are also encouraged to join the survey. Partners will

be invited to complete a separate web-based survey about his experience, as a

partner of a man with prostate cancer.

You get $20 if you participate.
