Family Support Study Open for Nationwide Enrollment / University of Kentucky College of Medicine

Researchers at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine are evaluating a comprehensive support program (psychological/social) for families of people with lung cancer. If your relative has lung cancer, and you are seeking support, they would like to talk with you. People in the study receive free counseling and support or informational services. Services can be delivered by phone and through the mail so anyone in the United States can participate. Study results will help researchers learn more about how best to support families dealing with lung cancer.
