I am doing a study on Colon Cancer Awareness. I am comparing awareness at a local level to a national scale. Since the local percentage is probably lower than the national, I designed my survey in such a way that could suggest that the reason for the lower percentage would be because of lack of awareness. Based on this, what would be my independent and dependent variables?

I'm a LITTLE confused by your question- it sounds like your hypothesis ("reason") is that the lower local percentage of colon cancer awareness is caused by... lack of awareness. Not a very interesting hypothesis, being circular and all. But perhaps you mean to simply test whether local awareness actually IS lower than it is nationally? In that case, your dependent variable would be some measure of awareness gathered from your survey, and the independent variable would be location (local vs. non-local). You would have to administer your survey to both both local and non-local populations. It's best to really tightly pin down exactly what the hypothesis is that you want to test. This will help you identify the dependendant variables (outcomes) and the independent variables (the factors you think may be affecting the outcome).
