Description
CANINFO reports if a health professional gave the sample person written information about their cancer or its treatment, if not they were asked if they picked any written information up on their own. This inquiry was directed at sample persons age 18 years and over who were ever diagnosed with one kind of cancer (CANCEREV, CANCERNO) and were diagnosed in the past 10 years (CAN1DIAGDY, CAN1DIAGE) or who were diagnosed with more than one kind of cancer (CANCERNO) and most recent cancer was diagnose in the past 10 years (CANRECDIAGDY, CANRECDIAGE). Possible responses were "yes", "no, no information given", "no, but I picked it up myself".
The field representative's manual defines written information as including "flyers, handouts, pamphlets and/or booklets". It went onto say "If the SP simply answers 'No', then use the printed probe to determine which 'No' box to mark".
