For Researchers - Interviews and Questionnaires

Baseline Interview Eligibility

All participants enrolled in HR/CSC are eligible for the HR/CSC baseline general questionnaire. Interview priority is given to participants with a new cancer diagnosis that corresponds with a cancer-specific questionnaire (see questionnaire list below).

Question by question (QxQ) interview protocols are available upon request by contacting HR/CSC cscresearchers@med.unc.edu.

Conducting Interviews

HR/CSC aims to conduct the first interview with newly enrolled participants within 2 weeks of enrollment. Interviews may be conducted over the phone or in-person on the day of a clinic visit. The baseline general interview takes approximately 45 minutes and the cancer-specific interview takes about 15 minutes to complete.
