The 14 Australasian Cancer Cooperative Trials Group (CCTGs) regularly conduct survey and interview studies that invite people affected by cancer about their experiences and needs. The insights collected may be used to help the CCTGs choose which clinical trials to conduct and design the best interventions to be tested.
Survey studies ask people to complete questionnaires, usually online and without any contact with the research team.
Interview studies usually take the form of a 'conversation' with someone from the research team, often over the phone or online.
Each study will vary as to how long participants will take and what questions people will be invited to answer.
