ASPERT Study

Do you live in Aotearoa New Zealand and have a pancreatic cancer diagnosis?

Are you a health professional that works with patients with pancreatic cancer?

The ASPERT research group is working to understand the prescribing of and compliance with Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy (PERT) by investigating current practices in both Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia with a view to highlighting the current gaps. Currently, we have very little information about who is being offered this medication and how it is being taken. Our goal is to identify who does and does not have access to this treatment and this can be improved.

Further information can be found on the study WEBSITE.

This study is a collaboration between the University of Otago, University of Technology Sydney and Nurse Maude Association.

The survey takes about 5-7 minutes to complete, is anonymous and can be found HERE.
