University of California Looking For Asian American Participants For Its Cancer Study

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) is conducting research on the study of stress and coping in Asian Americans diagnosed with advanced/metastatic cancer.

Metastatic cancer refers to a cancer diagnosis that has spread from where it started to a distant part of the body which is often called Stage 4.

The research aims to understand the stressors that Asians with Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese and Filipino heritage individuals with cancer might experience.

Examining these stressors will help researchers study their connection to the patient’s quality of life, symptoms, coping, sleep, well-being, inflammation, and antiviral responses in the body.

UCI is looking for adults aged 18 and up diagnosed with advanced/metastatic cancer who are of Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, or Japanese heritage to participate in the study.

The study requires about two hours over the course of three months. Moreover, participants will submit a doctor-patient form confirming the diagnosis, three surveys in total, and dried blood spot samples.

Eligible participants will be compensated with $145 in gift cards.
