Lung Cancer Patients Needed for Symptom Study

Sixty people with non-small-cell lung cancer are needed to take part in a

study examining the influence of beliefs about lung cancer on symptom

distress. Study participants will fill out four questionnaires, and 20

people will also be interviewed by the investigator about their symptoms and how they perceive them. Filling out the questionnaires takes about 20

minutes. The interviews take 20 to 60 minutes. All study participants will

have an opportunity to talk about their illness with the investigator, a

clinical nurse specialist and an Oregon Health & Science University School

of Nursing doctoral candidate. Study participants may request a brief

summary of their own survey rresults, if they wish. Contact Teresa Goodell, R.N., C.N.S., at 503 522-2076 or lungcancerstudy@hotmail.com to

participate.
