MethodsAfter the study received institutional review board approval, 1,000 oncologists from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) were randomly selected from the association's annual membership directory listing of 17,000 US members. These oncologists were sent an e-mail requesting their participation in an online survey. Details of survey instrument development, data collection, and analyses are available elsewhere (4). The final survey consisted of 21 questions about observed prevalence of distress, frequencies of types of distress, availability of mental health services, screening for distress, barriers to screening, management of distress, and knowledge of NCCN guidelines (5). The survey was conducted online between September 12, 2005, and November 12, 2005, with two subsequent postal mailings sent to nonresponders. The survey closed on July 15, 2006. Online and mail surveys were identical with the exception of the response format for one item: types of mental health clinicians associated with the respondent's practice. The online version allowed only one response and the mail version allowed multiple responses. Because of this difference, only data from the mail version were analyzed for this question.
