Volunteers needed for Cancer Prevention Study Enrollment site at Making Strides in Westport

Volunteers are needed to help at the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study 3 (CPS3) enrollment being held October 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT.


We need people to help CPS3 enrollment participants with four tasks:


·         Entrance greeter

·         Exit greeter


The Cancer Prevention Study 3 is a research study that will help us better understand the genetic, behavioral, environmental, and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer. Our goal is to ultimately eliminate cancer as a major health concern for future generations and the data from CPS3 will help us make that happen.


 We are enrolling interested participants between the ages of 30 and 65 who have not been diagnosed with cancer (not including basal or squamous cell skin cancers), who are willing to participate in a long-term study.


 Please contact Pat Deuschle, (203) 563-1526 or email pat.deuschle@cancer.org.
