Research Studies

Are you an adult who has received medical treatment in the US for cancer?

We invite you to participate in an anonymous survey to help improve communication about fertility preservation options.

Research Study Details:

– Purpose: To explore patients’ awareness of how medical treatments may affect fertility (the ability to have

biological children) and identify helpful resources for future patients.

– Duration: 10-15 minutes survey

– Eligibility: Adults treated in the US for cancer, thalassemia, or sickle cell disease

– Researcher: Alejandra Bernal, Genetic Counseling Student, University of Pittsburgh

Your Participation Matters:

– Completely voluntary and anonymous

– May help future patients’ awareness of fertility preservation before treatment

– May help improve healthcare providers’ communication with patients

Take the Survey:

If you started treatments as a child, when answering questions about interactions with healthcare providers, you may either share your family’s experience (including what was discussed with your parents) or select “don’t remember/don’t know”.

The link can’t be tracked and can’t be used to identify respondents.
