A study for new members (8 weeks or less)

[Guest guest]

Hi.

(Sorry to be sending this to the whole site. Marrianne gave me

permission)

I am writing to you on behalf of The Wellness Community--a free

national program of psychological and emotional support for cancer

patients, and a group of faculty from the University of California,

San Francisco.

We are doing a new study which involves new members (8 weeks or less)

of bulletin boards filling out a set of questionnaires at the

beginning of their participation and six months later. Many people

from this Bulletin Board are enrolled in the study. The

questionnaires take approximately 30 minutes to complete and your

participation is anonymous. The knowledge gained from your

participation may help us better understand and improve resources for

men and women with breast cancer. If you are interested in learning

more about the study and/or participating, please visit

please cut and paste it--www.ucsf.edu/bsurvey, into your browser.)

Feel free to participate in the study when you are ready. While the

study results become more accurate the earlier you fill out the

questionnaires, you can still join anytime within the first 2 months

of your participation.

You can visit http://www.ucsf.edu/internt to read the published

findings of our previous study involving long-time members of breast

cancer bulletin boards.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Ben Goldstein,

the Project Coordinator, at bag@... .

Wishing you the best,
