Development of an Integrated Program of Health Related Quality of Life Research for the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project.
Abstract
This is the First Annual Report (months 1-12) for the Career Development Award (CDA) given Dr. Richard Day, Department of Biostatistics, University of Pittsburgh. This CDA was specifically intended to support Dr. Day in the development of a Health-Related Quality of Life Program (HRQL) for the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP). Important Achievements for Months 1-12 included: (a) completion of data collection and initial HRQL data analysis for the NSABP Breast Cancer Prevention Trial; (b) the design and implementation of HRQL studies for three new NSABP treatment trials and for one new NSABP prevention trial; and (c) the implementation and debugging of enhanced data collection and processing methods (i.e., scannable forms) for one new treatment and one new prevention trial. Important Delays for Months 1-12 included design of HRQL components for the B-29 protocol and a breast cancer survivors study which was delayed as a consequence of the requirements of other priority tasks. Except for the work proposed for B-29 and the breast cancer survivors study, which will be addressed during months 13-24, all planned components of Dr. Day's original Statement of Work for his CDA are proceeding according to ahead of schedule.
