The HOW Study
Sometimes "liking" things on Facebook gives you great leads. For example, following Tom Brady shows you his hilarious stint as Gary the telemarketer or an adorable photo of his daughter watching him play on TV. And sometimes "liking" the Young Survival Coalition leads you to find the HOW study. The HOW study is the Health of Woman study. It is conducted by the Dr. Susan Love Research foundation and it is an international online study in order to get information about women and men with and without breast cancer. The idea is to collect data on a broad spectrum on health and environmental exposures. The HOW study is a series of questionnaires. In classic consent form it states that their is no benefit from this study, however if enough people provide information about their lives perhaps new sources of breast cancer can be found. This is especially exciting to people like me who are Sara 43 Genes 0 and still would like to know if there was something specific that caused or led to my breast cancer.

Hi Sara. Thanks for this great blog post about the HOW Study. It's a very important project, especially now that we have launched the Quality of Life questionnaire, which will measure quality of life amongst breast cancer survivors and those without a history of breast cancer.
