0%
 
 
Thank you for your interest and assistance. We are conducting research into the perceptions of women regarding their the risk of developing ovarian cancer. We truly appreciated your contribution and have designed the survey in such a way that will take less than five minutes.

Your answers may provide important information for healthcare providers working to prevent and treat ovarian cancer.

This research is part of a larger student-initiated project and is sponsored by the UAB School of Health Professions, Department of Health Services Administration.

TITLE OF RESEARCH: Ovarian Cancer Risk Perceptions in College-Aged Women
IRB PROTOCOL NO.: E160217006
INVESTIGATOR: Ashley Crowe
SPONSOR: UAB Health Services Administration

We are asking you to take part in a research study. This research study will collect information and investigate the perceptions of risk of ovarian cancer in college-aged women.

Although you may not benefit directly from taking part in this study, the findings of the result may provide information that is important to understanding how college-age women understand and process the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

This is a pilot study of females at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

If you choose to participate, you will complete a survey regarding your opinions and perceptions of the risks of ovarian cancer. We expect the survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete. There will be not cost or compensation for taking part in the study. If your email address was used to send the invitation to participate, the investigator cannot link your responses to anything that would identify you.

Your participation is completely voluntary. Whether or not you take part in this study is your choice. There will be no penalty if you decide not to be in the study.
