NCI™ ADULT IN-PERSON SURVEY (IPS) 2020-21

Before asking question, explain:

When we do the survey, I am going to ask questions about your life, like about where you live
and what you do during the day. There are no right or wrong answers, I just want to hear what
you have to say. Some questions are just for you. I am going to ask a practice question. Is that
ok?
If no, ask if there is anything that will help the person feel more comfortable

If yes…
