The following survey will help us to understand skin cream usage by patients who develop skin redness/irritation during radiation therapy.
This anonymous online survey contains a total of 24 multiple choice questions. There is no time limit, though some people take about 10 minutes to complete the survey.
We will collect some basic information from you such as age, sex, education, and the like. The information collected in this survey is confidential and the researchers will NOT be able to identify who is filling out the information. In the report of this study, you will not be recognizable and all personal health information will be protected.
Only the investigator for the study and the study team may use or share your information, and we will not disclose the information outside of the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS).
This survey is for adults, 18 years of age or older, who previously had a diagnosis of cancer and who were treated with radiation therapy. Your participation in this study is voluntary.
The benefits for taking part in this study include generating information to better help health professionals provide the best care to cancer patients. You may receive no benefit from your participation. There will be no compensation for you or your time spent on this survey.
