Dear list owner,



This is Chia-Chun, a doctoral student and a research assistant in school of
Nursing, University of Texas at Austin.



Now my professor, Dr. Eun-Ok Im, is currently conducting an Internet survey
study entitled "The use of Internet Cancer Support Groups among Asian
Americans Living with Cancer." This 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).



In the study, an Internet survey and an online forum using a Web site will
be conducted to get information on the use of Internet Cancer Support Groups
of Asian American cancer patients.



If someone is a cancer patient aged at least 18 years who can read and write
English and whose self-reported ethnic identity is Asian American, she/he is
invited to join the study. Her/his involvement in the study will consist of
the following: (a) about 30 minutes are usually needed to complete the
Internet survey; and (b) online forums will be conducted with the 9 topics
for 1 month, should she/he agree to participate in and are selected for the
additional online forum discussion.



Reimbursement for individual participation will be made by providing 10
dollars gift certificate per internet survey participant and 50 dollars gift
certificate per online forum participant.



If you help us, we will also reimburse your group.
