We know that living with a chronic health condition or cancer diagnosis can be difficult. But, what can make it more difficult is the lack of information and research available for patients and their loved ones. Many people quickly jump online to research the ins and outs, but have trouble finding reliable information. They may also want to connect with others and share experiences.

How Can a Survey Help?

The In America survey seeks to close some of these gaps. The survey covers “basics” like diagnosis and treatment experiences, but also dives into the nitty-gritty, like the emotional impact and the day-to-day challenges. Each person that takes the survey contributes to a better understanding of the condition and helps others who are going through it feel less alone. Sharing experiences in the survey can reveal how similar each person’s journey is, as well as the differences that make each journey unique.

What Will the Survey Ask Me?

The survey will ask about diagnosis, symptoms, quality of life and relationships, healthcare professional engagement, and treatment. We do not require your name, address, or other personal information. Please note that you do not have to take the survey all at once. Feel free to bookmark the survey in your Internet browser and return when you are able. You will resume where you left off.

How Does Health Union Use the In America Survey Data?

Survey responses help us and our partners better understand and serve the community. All survey responses are kept confidential, reported only in total (your specific responses will not be reported individually), and will become property of Health Union, LLC.

What Happens After I Take the Survey?

After the survey closes each year, the Editorial Team creates articles, videos, and other content to reflect the survey learning and illustrate life with the condition. Articles and videos published using responses from the survey contributes to the information available to those affected and have walked the same path.
