Eun-Ok Im, MPH, PhD, School of Nursing, University of Texas at Austin and her colleagues are conducting a study ultimately aiming at the development of computer software to assist nurses’ decision-making on cancer pain. In the study, Internet survey and online forum discussions using a Web site (home-page) will be conducted to get information on cancer pain of cancer patients from diverse cultural groups.

You are being asked to participate in this study because you have been identified as online cancer patients, aged at least 18 years, who can read and write English and whose self-reported ethnic identity is Hispanic, non-Hispanic (N-H), White, N-H African-American, or N-H Asian.

Data will be collected from September 15, 2003 to December 31, 2005. Your involvement will be: (a) about 30 minutes are usually needed to complete the Internet survey questionnaire; and (b) online forums will be conducted for 7 months (6 months for 9 topics and 1 month for additional topics that the participants may add) if you agree to participate in an additional online forum discussion. Your participation is asynchronous (participants can visit the online forum site and read and post messages at their convenience). Methods for the data collection phase include an Internet survey among 400 cancer patients in the U.S. on the Internet and online forum discussions among four ethnically different online forum groups (30 members per group at the beginning).

Reimbursement for participation will be made by providing 10 dollars of gift certificate per Internet survey participant, and 50 dollars of gift certificate per online forum participant. To get reimbursed for the online forums, at least two messages per topic should be posted. For more information, please visit our Web site at: http://dscp.nur.utexas.edu/PAIN/ and/or contact us.
