During National LGBT Health Awareness Week, March
12-18, the Howard Brown Health Center, the Lesbian Community Cancer Project and the University of Illinois at Chicago,
are working together to gather information on the experiences and needs of cancer survivors across the country and
around the globe. This is the first study to look at the combined experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender cancer survivors. The information gathered from this survey will be used as a guide in the design of a
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender cancer survivor research center, and to improve understanding of the special
needs of cancer survivors. The investigators of this study will publish the results of this survey to make them
available to community-based organizations across the country interested in better serving the needs of LGBT cancer
survivors. The LGBT Cancer Survivor Survey takes
about 30 minutes to complete online.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care. For medical emergencies, dial 911!
