Action Cancer are continuously striving to ensure the services provided are meeting the needs of the community and are effective. To do this, from time to time, we need feedback from those who use our services as well as those from the wider community. To collect this feedback we use questionnaires and interviews, depending on the specific information we need. Currently we are carrying out a project we need your help with:
"What services do you want?"
This study is being carried out in partnership with Queen's University, Belfast and with the help of the NIHE and is focused on finding out what services you need and want from us that will help you live a healthy lifestyle. To find out we are asking you to fill in a short questionnaire, which asks about what you do, what you would like to do and what services we can provide to help you have a healthy lifestyle. To complete this questionnaire (takes about 5mins) please click here.
Throughout the year we run various programmes in different locations across Northern Ireland. If you are interested in hearing about when these Action Cancer programmes might be running in your area, or you are interested in booking services for a group (available for a booking fee), please complete your details by clicking here.

Before you decide to take part it is important for you to understand why this research is being carried out and what it will involve.

We are trying to find out about men’s awareness, knowledge and attitudes regarding testicular cancer and testicular self examination. This study aims to gain information on levels of awareness, knowledge and attitudes regarding testicular cancer and testicular self-examination in order to possibly help shape future health campaigns.
We are looking for volunteers to take part in this study. If you agree to take part, it will involve completing a short anonymous questionnaire online. The questionnaire consists of 20 questions in three sections covering testicular cancer, testicular self examination and general information about you. Further detailed information is available in the participant information section at the start of the online questionnaire.
Altogether, taking part in the research will take about 10 minutes of your time.
