Unobtrusive Research



For this week’s blog I would like to focus on the aspect of Cancer Awareness and Unobtrusive Research. The month of October represents Breast Cancer Awareness across our nation.  Thousands of women and men are affected by this disease each and every year. The American Cancer Society each year conducts research to find out how many people have been affected by each type of cancer. By using an unobtrusive research method known as secondary research I will analyze the data which the American Cancer Society provides. Through my research I read the American Cancer Society’s Facts and Figures of 2010. I found out through the research that a total of 209,060 people are affected by Breast Cancer in 2010. Out of the 209,060 a total of 1,970 men have been affected by breast cancer. An estimated 40,230 deaths in 2010 are due to breast cancer. If you would like to read more about statistics on specific cancer’s here is the Cancer Facts and Figures

 The amount of people diagnosed with breast cancer each year I found truly shocking. I wanted to provide everyone some information regarding ways to donate and get involved with the fight against breast cancer. Each year American Cancer Society holds their Annual Making Strides for Breast Cancer Walk. One question which everyone should ask is What can you do about Breast Cancer? American Cancer Society provides information regarding early detection, donations, and events for Breast Cancer located on their Website

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is an event of true inspiration, it is an event where many families, friends, and individuals affected by Breast Cancer come together and fight back. According to the American Cancer Society’s website “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a non-competitive walking event that takes place in communities across the United States every year. Since 1993, nearly six million walkers have raised more than $400 million. In 2009 alone, nearly 700,000 walkers across the country collected $60 million to save lives from breast cancer.” This event is truly remarkable and I encourage everyone to get involved. There will be a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in New Haven CT on October 24.  Here is the official Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Website if you would like to find an event near you or would like some more information.
