In the short-term, the goals of this study will be a greater understanding of cancer patients; well-being experience through the care/treatment continuum.
You may be eligible for a research study being conducted at the University of Colorado if you are being treated for cancer and were employed when diagnosed. The WeCanWork research study at the University of Colorado Cancer Center is investigating how a new cancer diagnosis impacts work, finances, and general well-being for employed people undergoing treatment. The research team hopes to find ways to lessen the negative impact of cancer on employment by focusing on working patients. Jobs and finances are big concerns for patients and their families. By participating in this research study, you will help us find better ways to support working cancer survivors through their care journeys. The study team is asking patients to take two surveys in clinic or online. If you choose to participate, participation will not cost you anything, and you will be paid $50 for each survey you complete. You will not have to travel or make extra in-person trips to the clinic - this study can be done remotely.
You must be: 21 to 70 years of age Employed or want to continue working during treatment
