On September 17th, the National LGBT Cancer Network launched OUT: The National Cancer Survey. This survey is designed for LGBTQ+ cancer survivors. Currently, there is a huge gap in what we know about the experiences of LGBQT+ survivors. The information gathered from this project will help to change cancer care for our communities. We are reaching out to key community partners in hopes that they will consider sharing information about the survey with friends, loved ones, and other community members.

The National LGBT Cancer Network aims to recruit a minimum of 1000 participants. The findings from the survey will be shared with participants and partners in 2021.
It is planned for the survey to close on December 31, 2020.
To be eligible for the survey, participants must be 18 years or older, received a cancer diagnosis in the past, and currently live in the U.S.
We can only advocate for change when we have the data to show why it is needed. Right now, we know little about how LGBTQI+ navigate cancer care and survivorship. Through this survey, LGBTQI+ cancer survivors can share their own experiences and help create more welcoming and safe environments for our communities.
