Study Title: Prostate & Breast Cancer Survey

Principal Investigator: Rebecca
J. Donatelle, PhD, Department of Public Health

Student Researcher: Brian K.
Johnson, Department of Public Health



PURPOSE



This is a research study. The purpose of this
research study is to explore the knowledge and
health beliefs of men between the ages of 18 and
40 regarding prostate cancer, and breast cancer
in women. The purpose of this consent form is to
give you the information you will need to help
you decide whether to be in the study or not.
Please read the form carefully. You may ask any
questions about the research, what you will be
asked to do, the possible risks and benefits,
your rights as a volunteer, and anything else
about the research or this form that is not
clear. To do so, simply call 1-877-221-8424 or email [email protected]. When all of your questions have been
answered, you can decide if you want to be in
this study or not. This process is called
"informed consent". You may print a
copy of this form for your records.



We are inviting you to participate in this
research study because you are an adult male
between the ages of 18 and 40 years old.
Approximately 500 men like you will
participate in this study.



PROCEDURES



If you agree to participate, your involvement
will last for approximately 20-30 minutes. Once
you agree to participate in this study, you will
complete an on-line survey. Once you have
completed this survey, you will have completed
your involvement in this study.



RISKS



Risks to participants in this research will be
minimal. The greatest risk to participants is
loss of confidentiality or possible embarrassment
or distress due to others knowing of your
participation in this research. In addition, you
may worry that your answers on the survey are
incorrect.



BENEFITS



There may be no personal benefit for
participating in this study. However, the
researchers anticipate that, in the future,
society may benefit from this study by a greater
understanding of the current level of awareness
among men about prostate, testicular and breast
cancers. Such knowledge may suggest areas in
which health promotion and education efforts
could be enhanced or might be better directed.



COSTS AND COMPENSATION



You will not have any costs for participating in
this research project, and you will not be
compensated for participating in this research
project. If you choose, you may enter a drawing
for a $50 cash prize at the end of this survey.
All participants who complete the survey by June 5, 2004, will be
eligible to receive the $50 cash prize.

these records could contain information that
personally identifies you. In the event of any
report or publication from this study, your
identity will not be disclosed. Results will be
reported in a summarized manner in such a way
that you cannot be identified.
