press release: OVARIAN CANCER (in) CANADA | Harris Decima survey shows Canadian women more aware of ovarian cancer (not so fast...)



Note: poorly written press release or;  was it the survey? the question/s ? the design?

Blogger's keypoints - in matters of full transparency:
* where are the results of the full survey? 
* demographics of repondents ?
the prior survey done in 2005 was not made available to the public either - yet funded with public/survivour funding

1) Randomized sampling = 1,010  in Canada
2) Canada's population est = 2011 - 34,409,066 

Blogger's Note: No explanation on the 51 years? exactly 51 years of age ?

"Other key study findings include:
  • Awareness of ovarian cancer as a potentially fatal disease has increased (71% vs. 65%), particularly among women 51 years and older, who are at a greater risk of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer (71% vs. 58%)"
