How to Participate?

We are asking 11,000 people to be part of a study that will help us understand how chemicals might impact health over many years. We want to include everyone: white or ethnic minority and urban or rural residents from NC and GA. The study details are at here.

You can be part of the study if you:

  • Are 40-75 years old  
  • Live in NC or GA 
  • Are generally healthy OR you have cirrhosis of the liver

As a participant, you will:

  • Sign a consent form and complete a questionnaire. 
  • Sign a medical release form so we can collect medication and other information. 
  • Answer questions about:
    • Your home environment
    • Your health
    • Your dietary habits
    • Your current/previous work environment
  • You will provide urine, saliva, and blood samples
  • We will send you home to mail back with a wristband (to collect data on air quality), and materials and instructions to collect water (for drinking and cooking), handwipes, and house dust samples. 
  • We will repeat this every 1-2 years and the visits will be shorter.

Taking part in this study is up to you. You may leave the study at any time, for any reason.
