Ovarian Cancer Survivorship Survey











CDC estimates the average public reporting burden for this collection of information as 50 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data/information sources, gathering and maintaining the data/information needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Information Collection Review Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-XXXX).





INTRO This survey is specifically for women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. In addition to ovarian cancer, this survey is also for women who have been diagnosed with cancer of the fallopian tubes, or cancer of the primary peritoneum. For simplicity, all three of these cancers will be referred to as ovarian cancer throughout the survey.


Some women who participate in this survey will be much closer to their diagnosis and still undergoing treatment, while others may have ended treatment several years ago. Several questions will ask you to think back to when you were first diagnosed with ovarian cancer, or when you were receiving treatment. If you are currently receiving treatment, please answer these questions to the best of your ability.


Your answers will help us better understand how to help women with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer as they are diagnosed, receive treatment, and begin to recover. Please answer all of the following questions by choosing the option that best applies to you. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers. The information that you provide will remain strictly confidential.


Your opinions are very important to us, and we appreciate your help.

SECTION A1: INFORMED CONSENT


CONSENT NORC at the University of Chicago is conducting a survey sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This survey is to learn about your experiences as an ovarian cancer survivor. By taking this survey, you will help us identify needs of ovarian cancer survivors in order to develop programs aimed at improving survivor health.


The survey will include questions related to your experiences, health, and well-being as an ovarian cancer survivor as well as general demographics and questions related to health and cancer in your family. The survey will take about 45 minutes to complete.


Taking the survey is your choice. Some questions may be sensitive to you. You may skip questions you do not want to answer and you can stop the survey at any time. Eligible participants will be mailed $10 at the end of the survey.


Any information you provide will be maintained in a secure manner. No one will know how you answered the questions. Only project staff will have access to the study data. The data we collect from you will be combined with data from other participants.


If you have any questions about the survey, you can call the NORC IRB Administrator toll-free at: 866-309-0542.


I have read the above information. I consent voluntarily to be a participant in this study.
