INSIGHT - Patient Questionnaire |
INVESTIGATING CLINICAL TRIALS IN NEW ZEALAND
Clinical trials are research studies, in which people volunteer to try new treatments or tests as a way to stop, find, treat or look after various medical problems. Only a small percentage of patients with cancer are involved in clinical trials in New Zealand at present, well below the rates of other countries (20%).
Cancer Trials New Zealand, a research group based at the University of Auckland, would like to find out the reasons why the number of New Zealanders involved in clinical trials is low. Cancer Trials New Zealand was established in 2003, to help researchers in New Zealand develop their research questions into clinical trials that would give answers that assist in improving the health outcomes for New Zealanders.
We are asking patients with cancer from across New Zealand to answer the questions below, so we can develop a better understanding of how New Zealanders feel about clinical trials.
The survey will take about 10 minutes to fill in and is completely voluntary and anonymous. By completing this questionnaire, you are agreeing to participate in the study which will help us evaluate:
1. Why patients decide to participate in a clinical trial?
2. What encourages or discourages patients to participate in a clinical trial?
If you would like to have your say, please complete the following anonymous survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HRDWRV8 or complete the paper version below and return to the receptionist or by post in the available envelope. If you do not know the answer to a question please move on to the next question.
This is completely anonymous, but it is very important for us to learn your opinions and learn from your experience. It is completely voluntary whether you chose to complete this survey and it will not impact your care.
If you have any questions around this survey or it causes you any concern please contact Dr Michelle Wilson (09 307 4949 x23415) or Dr Michael Findlay (09 923 2005 or 021 753 735).
