Cancer Survivors, Controls Needed
A study needs volunteers who have been diagnosed and treated for
brain or breast cancer, are between the ages of 20 and 70, and
were working full time for at least one year prior to diagnosis.
We also need healthy volunteers who have never been diagnosed
with cancer and have no chronic illness, are between the ages
of 20 and 70 and who have been working full time for at least
the past year. You will be asked to complete a 1-hour questionnaire
online with questions related to work and health. Participants
will be compensated and receive a free Livestrong yellow wrist
band. If interested, go to http://cim01.usuhs.mil/mps/jhansen/Inclusion.tp4 and

by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and
American University.
