The Elsie Study, based at the University of Minnesota, aims to improve how LGBTQ+ people are included in cancer research studies. 

We want to hear from everyone: those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and those who don't identify with particular labels. We especially want to hear and uplift perspectives from people with different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. 

Participation Requirements:

Participants must be over the age of 18, reside within the United States, and have been diagnosed with cancer.  

Time Commitment:

Approximately 45 to 60 minutes 

Incentive:
