Caregivers of cancer patients often put themselves last. But research shows when caregivers get their needs met, patients feel better too. We want to know what experiences LGBTQIA+ caregivers to adult cancer patients have, and what interventions or services could fill their needs and support their health.
This Study is Open To:
- At least 18 years old
- Unpaid caregiver of a cancer patient
- Identify as a sexual/gender minority
This Study is NOT Open To:
Caregivers who are also currently in cancer treatment themselves will not be eligible for participation.
Overview: Eligible participants will be asked to engage in a single 2-hour virtual research session. During the session, they will complete some surveys and a 1:1 interview, in which they’ll discuss their experience as a cancer caregiver.
Steps:
- Fill out study screener: https://gsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_419rfX1CYEsftMG
