Why is the telephone option limited to cancer patients in the US?
As with many constraints, the short answer is money. The purpose of offering the telephone option is to permit people to take the survey even if they don’t feel well enough to sit at a computer. Limited funds mean that we can’t make international calls. We absolutely must constrain these resources to those who must need the telephone call to participate. The RWJF does not permit funds to be spent outside the U.S.
