The
American Cancer Society’s Epidemiology Research Program is inviting men and
women between the ages of 30 and 65 years who have no personal history of
cancer to join a historic research study, Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
The ultimate goal is to enroll at least 300,000 adults from various racial/ethnic
backgrounds from across the U.S. The purpose of CPS-3 is to better understand
the lifestyle, behavioral, environmental and genetic factors that cause or
prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health problem for
this and future generations. CPS-3 is a grassroots effort across the country
through which you can advance cancer research by participating actively in a
historic research study.
Your onsite enrollment will take approximately 20-30 minutes and will involve:
- Completing a short survey packet
- Signing a consent form
- Providing a waist circumference measurement
- Providing a small blood sample (similar to a doctor’s visit).
Enrollment
will take place in the Richmond, Virginia area from November 13 to November 17.
For more details about enrollment locations, dates and times and to schedule
your appointment, visit cps3richmond.org
Following
enrollment, you will receive mailed surveys at home every few years to update
your information. You will also receive annual study newsletters to update you
on research results. Whether or not you are able to enroll, PLEASE FORWARD this email to friends, coworkers, and family members in the Richmond area and encourage them to help advance cancer research by enrolling in CPS-3.
