Cancer survival in the UK has doubled in the last 40 years, and the average number of survival years has also increased. As a result, more and more people are resuming their work, sport, and daily lives following treatment/surgery for cancer. So, as part of DDRC Healthcare’s continuing Health of Divers project, we would like to gain a better insight into cancer and diving. Research shows that physical activity may have beneficial effects for several aspects of cancer survivorship, and at DDRC Healthcare we would like to try and find out a little more about how divers who have had, or currently have, cancer view the sport of diving – has diving helped in your recovery, have you continued to dive, did you give up diving due to cancer? There is so much to find out.
Therefore, DDRC Healthcare would appreciate it very much if divers could take a little time and answer our anonymous questionnaire to the best of your ability. As in all our other surveys all the information given us will be completely untraceable to participating divers, so we would value in participations divers who have cancer in this project.
This project promises to be a very valuable and interesting contribution to diving research, and we hope it will enable us to gain a better understanding regarding this subject. There is a maximum of 40 questions in this survey, but participants will not have to answer them all; so the survey should only take about 4 to 5 minutes to complete and just please follow the on-line instructions to the end.
