Studying the Impact of Cancer-Related Financial Challenges on Couples’ Health

About the Study

We are looking for couples dealing with cancer to participate in our research study on how couples’ experience with cancer-related financial challenges affects their health and relationship. Results from this study will contribute to the development of programs that can help couples dealing with the financial difficulties of cancer

What the Study Involves

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to complete a screening survey to assess your eligibility. If eligible, two questions will ask for your and your partner’s email addresses so we can send a brief survey that will take approximately 15-20 minutes to both of you. The survey will include questions about yourself, your experiences with financial challenges, your health, and your relationship.

Take the survey here.
