Research Solutions : Quality of Life Website

A Research Study Sponsored by the Departments of Urology and Radiation-Oncology at UCLA.

Quality of Life is a longitudinal health outcomes study of patients´s quality of life following treatment of prostate cancer. Men treated for early stage prostate cancer are invited to participate in the study. Data collection is done on a computer, with the help of a research assistant (RA). The same questionnaire is then presented to participants at specific time intervals over a 4-year period to see how their quality of life changs, and how quickly they return to their pre-treatment baseline quality of life.

The Survey Builder module was used to create a longitudinal study by specifying a set of electronically published surveys. Other custom-designed modules are used to implement and manage the administration of this research project. The website also tracks compliance and provides administrative scheduling.
