The Lance Armstrong Foundation Launches New Survey to Identify Cancer Survivors' Needs & Get Them the Right Resources
(firmenpresse) - AUSTIN, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 07/18/12 -- The Lance Armstrong Foundation has launched the designed to identify cancer survivors' needs and how to get them the right resources.
"Too often, cancer survivors learn to live with the pain and pitfalls of this disease simply because they can't find the right resources," said Ruth Rechis, Director of Research and Evaluation for the Foundation. "We want to change that and this survey will help us help survivors. The more people who take the survey, the better we can build and refine programs offering tangible support to address the needs of survivors every single day."
The information learned from the 2010 survey helped shape the organization's navigation services, select community program grantees and direct policies over the past two years. With the 2012 survey, the Foundation seeks to survey only those who have been directly diagnosed with cancer. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and the information provided will help the Foundation to continue its efforts to close the gaps and improve cancer support programs and services. To develop this survey, the Foundation coordinated with the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Health's Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, the Center for Disease Control, the American Cancer Society and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to include elements of the Experiences with Cancer Survivorship supplement of the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS).
