  • Respondents Requested: Managers & HR Professionals

    UConn School of Medicine researchers have developed a survey research study to examine the factors associated with the amount of support that managers/supervisors and humans resources professionals provide to employed cancer survivors, and types of support provided.

    If you are a Supervisor, Manager, or Human Resources Professional who has ever worked with a Cancer Survivor, you may qualify to participate.

    Eligible study participants will be invited to complete an anonymous online survey that takes 15 minutes. Participants may qualify to participate in the study if they are:

    • SUPERVISOR or MANAGER who has EVER supervised/ managed an employee during a time period when they were diagnosed with, in treatment for, or recovering from CANCER.
    • HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONAL who has EVER worked with an employee during a time period when they were diagnosed with, in treatment for, or recovering from CANCER.
