Understanding the Needs of LGBTQIA+ Caregivers Supporting People with Cancer

About the Study

NOTE: This study is no longer enrolling people. 

Caregivers of cancer patients often put themselves last. But research shows when caregivers get their needs met, patients feel better too. We want to know what experiences LGBTQIA+ caregivers to adult cancer patients have, and what interventions or services could fill their needs and support their health.

What the Study Involves

Overview: Eligible participants will be asked to engage in a single 2-hour virtual research session. During the session, they will complete some surveys and a 1:1 interview, in which they’ll discuss their experience as a cancer caregiver.
