Brief description of study
Help us learn how to better support rural families facing cancer. Take part in this study and help improve care for caregivers like you.
Caregivers play a vital role in helping cancer patients get the best possible care. But caregiving—especially in rural communities—can be demanding and emotionally overwhelming. Many caregivers face challenges related to stress, mental health, and balancing complex at‑home treatment responsibilities. Rural caregivers often face additional barriers such as fewer local resources and longer travel distances for care.
That is why researchers at Indiana University are looking to speak with caregivers of people with colorectal or lung cancer who live in rural areas of Indiana.
Your experiences matter. By sharing your story, you can help shape better care for other caregivers and the people they love.
