The Recovery of Health and Wellbeing following Cancer Treatment (Online Survey)

Researchers from the University of Stirling are conducting a survey to understand the impact of socio-economic factors on the recovery of health and wellbeing for cancer survivors following primary cancer treatment. This is an online survey which will take around 15 minutes to complete.

Adults living in Scotland who have completed cancer treatment are eligible. These findings will provide an insight into the impact of deprivation on the health and wellbeing outcomes of cancer survivors.
