CANCER PREVENTION STUDY-3

Research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.

The American Cancer Societys 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 United States. 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. Participation is easy and enrollment is being brought to Lake County in partnership with the Lake County General Health District, the YMCAs of Lake County, the Lake County Captains, St. John Vianney and the Western Lake Relay For Life. Once you schedule your appointment, you will receive instructions on how to complete your first, most comprehensive survey online. This survey will take approximately 45-60 minutes to complete. Your on-site enrollment will take 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 doctors visit).
