Improving AYA Cancer Survivors' Engagement in Research
Research aims to save lives and improve the physical and emotional well-being of cancer patients and survivors. However, it is incredibly challenging to recruit people to research, especially if they are going through treatment, trying to get their lives back on track, or from a vulnerable group (e.g., non-English speaker, LGBTQ).
Our research wants to find out how we can include all the voices of cancer survivors, including the most vulnerable, and also learn what are the most important questions research can answer for cancer survivors, in terms of emotional, psychological, or social impacts.
