Two students are doing research for a final paper in a sociology class,
Sociology 169a: Issues In Sexuality.

We are hoping to explore the sexual health resources available to the
Brandeis community and would appreciate your honest, anonymous and
confidential input. 

This survey is in no way affiliated with SSIS or the Health Center,
just two sociology students and our final paper!

Please feel free to answer only the questions you are comfortable with
and know that this survey is entirely anonymous.

Thank you!

A5. Waltham Group Bone Marrow Donor Registry Drive
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it?
The goal of the drive is to increase the number of people registered in
the international bone marrow registry.  Your cells are then checked
against those that have a need for bone marrow donations such as those
with leukemia.
 
What will be happening at the drive?
You will be asked to fill out a form, all of this information is 100%
confidential.  Next is a cheek swab and that information will be sent
to a national database. There are NO NEEDLES OR BLOOD SAMPLES!
 
Who can participate?
Everyone between the ages of 18-55.  This means that most of the
restrictions preventing people from donating blood do not apply to bone
marrow registering.
 
What happens if I am a match?
The chance of being a match is extremely slim.  However, if you are a
match it is an opportunity to save somebody's life, 80% of all
donations are done through drawn blood, virtually painless.  The other
20% is done through your pelvis; you receive an epidural and the
recovery time is about 3 days.
 
When and where?
The drive will be Wednesday, December 3, from 11-2 in the International
Lounge and on Thursday, December 4, from 10-5 in the Shapiro Campus
Center Atrium.
