Men's Awareness of Cancer Risk Factors

Researchers at University College Cork (UCC) are looking for men to complete a short survey about awareness of cancer risk factors.  The number of cancers occurring worldwide is increasing.  This is partly because populations are living longer, but also because of an increase in cancer causing behaviours.  It is estimated that at least one third of all cancers could be prevented through adopting a healthy diet, staying active and maintaining a healthy body weight.  Researchers at UCC are asking men living in Ireland to complete this survey in order to assess how much they understand about cancer risk factors.  This knowledge is important, as it will help health professionals and policy makers to develop better cancer awareness programmes for Irish men in the future.  The research has been approved by the Social Research Ethics Committee at UCC, participation is completely voluntary, and respondents may withdraw from the survey at any time.  To participate, visit: www.surveymonkey.com/r/QBDVF93
