• be between 30 and 65 years old
• have no personal history of cancer (this does not include basal or squamous cell skin cancer)
• be willing to make a long-term commitment to the study which simply involves completing periodic follow-up questionnaires.

The goal of CPS-3 is to better understand ways to prevent cancer. Once a person has cancer, the body has been affected by the disease, treatment, and/or lifestyle changes as a result of the diagnosis. For this reason, we strongly encourage individuals without a history of cancer to enroll.

CPS-3 enrollment opportunities will take place at selected venues and events and will take about 30 minutes. The CPS-3 enrollment area at the events will be clearly marked and enrollment will involve:

• completing a brief survey
• signing an informed consent
• providing a waist measurement
• providing a small blood sample (similar to a doctor’s visit).

Hours of operation for the CPS-3 enrollment area will vary by event site so please contact your local CPS-3 Volunteer Chair, event staff, or local ACS office for enrollment hours.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this historic study, please see the “Locations of Enrollment” information that highlights the various locations in your community that will be conducting CPS-3 enrollment.
