I am a proud student of the University of Texas at Austin, and a research assistant for the University's Nursing School. I am working with Dr. Im, Ph D, MPH, RN, Professor. who is conducting a study entitled “The use of Internet Cancer Support Groups among Asian Americans Living with Cancer (CASAA).” In this study, we are conducting an Internet survey and online forum via a website to collect information on the use of Internet Cancer Support Groups of Asian American cancer patients. Our study is funded by the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research in Underserved Populations (CHPR) and the Expedited Proposal-Enhancement Grants (EP-EG).

We hope that you will help us by announcing our research to your organization, friends, and patients. If you know any Asian American cancer patients, please invite them to participate in our study. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

We are seeking cancer patients aged 18 years or older, who can read and write English, and whose self-reported ethnic identity is Asian American. Involvement in the study will consist of the following:
(a) Internet survey of approx 30 minutes
(b) optional online forum discussion with 9 topics for 1 month

Reimbursement for each participant includes a 10 dollar gift certificate for the survey and a 50 dollar gift certificate for the online forum.

Have a great day,
