Invitation to online survey - Impact of PCa online groups on members' lives

[Guest guest]

Dear Members

My name is Kasia and I am a doctoral candidate at the University of

Nottingham, UK. I am currently conducting research into the role of online

support groups in the lives of prostate cancer patients and their families.

Today I would like to invite all prostate cancer patients, survivors, their

partners, families and friends to participate in this study. It is the final

part of my PhD project, exploring the role of online chat groups in the lives of

prostate cancer patients and their families. The survey consists mostly of

multiple choice questions exploring members' experiences with using prostate

cancer online support groups. It takes approximately 15 – 20 minutes to

complete.

To find out more about this project and to take part in the survey please follow

this link. If you have trouble accessing this link, please cut and paste or type

it into your Internet browser:

The survey will be open until 1 August 2011.

If you think any member of your family or friend who is affected by prostate

cancer would like to help with this study – please do not hesitate to invite

them.

Thank you very much for your help.

I have been in touch with Kasia for some

time and she has been good enough to share some of her initial findings with

me.

I hope that many of you will take the few

minutes required to complete her survey. I think we all know from anecdotal evidence

that there is enormous value in Forums like this one. Kasia intends to publish

a study demonstrating this. As we know from discussions, published studies

carry more weight than anecdotal evidence.

All the best

Prostate men need enlightening, not

frightening
